Khan said that if the US was unsuccessful in Afghanistan for the past 19 years then it is a bleak possibility it will emerge successful in the next 19 years.
In his speech, Khan said that the previous governments failed to find a solution to the economic woes, adding that due to the sticky issues, the current government had to rely on the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Imran praised China, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates who helped Pakistan in challenging times.
