He attributed this success to teamwork and collective endeavors, stating that these efforts have stabilized Pakistan’s economy.

He expressed confidence that the nation is now on a path to development and prosperity, and that the same determination and resilience with which Team Pakistan faced challenges will guide them through the journey of progress.
