PM hails EU’s support for war against terror
LAHORE: Prime Minister Syed Yosaf Raza Gilani, describing the European Union of 27 members as an important forum on Saturday, appreciated its continued support for Pakistan’s contributions in the war against terror.
He said that their generous assistance of more than 300 million Euros for the flood victims was also instrumental for their early rehabilitation. The prime minister was talking to Pakistan’s ambassador to European Union Jalil Abbas Jilani, who had called on him.
The Ambassador informed the prime minister that the provision of a tariff concession on 75 items and the subsequent provision of GSP Plus facility by the EU would help revive Pakistan’s economy, create jobs and ensure investment in the country.
The prime minister directed the ambassador to interact with the civil society and policy makers to apprise them of the sacrifices Pakistanis had rendered. appCourtesy www.dailytimes.com.pk
