Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif statement on “Prime Minister’s Youth Sports Initiative”
In order to provide opportunities to the youth of Pakistan to spend their energies in a positive manner, I have launched the Youth Sports Initiative (Prime Minister’s Youth Sports Initiative) yesterday to promote nationwide sports and provide world-class facilities. Majority of Pakistan’s population consists of youth but unfortunately there is a severe lack of facilities not only for local but also for international sports. In view of this, we have established the foundation stone of the country’s first sports university and a sports endowment fund. Apart from this, the promotion of sports throughout the country will be ensured by encouraging talented and performing athletes, training athletes for international competitions and other measures. History is a witness that the talented youth of Pakistan, whenever given an opportunity, have raised the green crescent flag all over the world with great performance. I also realize that these steps are insufficient but it is a good starting point. I sincerely hope that future governments will continue these initiatives. Prime Minister of Pakistan Shehbaz Sharif.
