ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Saturday once again invited the opposition to sit together for “Charter of Economy and a Charter of Democracy,” stressing that national unity and Pakistan’s interests must remain above political differences.

“I have said more than once that we should move towards a Charter of Economy and a Charter of Democracy,” the premier said while addressing a National Assembly session a day after the federal budget for Fiscal Year 2026-27 was proposed.

He reiterated his invitation to the opposition, saying ensuring equal development across all four provinces was his responsibility as prime minister.

Referring to provincial rights, he said there was no disagreement over the principle that provinces are entitled to their own resources.
