DUSHANBE: Whoever comes to power should complete the five-year tenure, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif said while speaking to the media in Dushanbe, Tajikistan on Thursday.

He also spoke about the stock market decline in Pakistan, saying the current situation got the graph sloping downwards.

The prime minister was speaking on the second day of his visit to Tajikistan, where he is likely to meet Afghan President Ashraf Ghani and attend the CASA conference on power matters.

The Pakistani premier is accompanied by a high-level delegation, including Water and Power Minister Khawaja Asif, Adviser to PM on Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz, Commerce Minister Khurram Dastagir and chairperson of the National Highway Authority, among other officials.

A press release issued by the prime minister's media wing earlier said the visit to Tajikistan was reflective of the premier's vision to strengthen Pakistan's relations with neighbouring and regional countries and further increase regional connectivity.
