MURREE: Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi on Wednesday said they want to convey to the world that prime minister of the country can change, but policies remain the same.
PM Abbasi was speaking to journalists after attending a consultative meeting with PML-N head Nawaz Sharif and party leaders in Pakistan's picturesque hill station Murree.
He said that Sharif congratulated them for demonstrating unity and putting democracy back on track in just four days, with heavy majority.
The premier said the party chief directed them to swiftly complete all ongoing projects.
"Nawaz Sharif directed to continue the policies of the previous cabinet, with focus on ongoing development programmes such as CPEC, investment schemes, construction of dams and power projects, motorway, and to expedite them, so that we may show the world that the prime minister can change but policies remain the same," Abbasi said.
Responding to journalists' queries about the new cabinet, he said consultations were ongoing and would continue over the next few days after which the cabinet would be sworn in.
The new cabinet was initially supposed to be sworn in on Wednesday, but the oath-taking was postponed in the afternoon.
