FAISALABAD: Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi on Wednesday reiterated that democracy is the best way to move forward for the nation. 

"A democratic system is the best way to move forward," the prime minister said at the foundation-laying ceremony of a car assembling plant in Faisalabad.

Abbasi also reiterated that the government will complete its tenure and elections will be held on time.

He further said that the electricity and gas shortages have been curtailed due to the efforts of the present government. 

Addressing the attendees of the ceremony, the prime minister said that the new automobile policy has been successful in producing dividends.

"Dividends portray the confidence in stability and continuity of policy in Pakistan," he said. "The biggest achievement in the last few years is the insulation of policies from political change." 

"We have had our instabilities and issues over the last few years but the path to progress has continued and this is a manifestation of the trust that the investor has in Pakistan?s policies."
