Minister for Planning and Development Ahsan Iqbal has called for adopting export oriented policies for public and private sector to accelerate export led growth.

Addressing a ceremony in Islamabad on Thursday, he emphasized on increasing exports to upto 100 billion dollars.

The Minister said the government is steering the country to the right direction and the rumors of any imminent default are baseless.

He said to promote private sector investment we need to create enabling and investor friendly environment in the country.

Ahsan Iqbal said China offers us a potential export market which we must take benefit of.
