Opening of motorway strengthened Sialkot economy: Khawaja Asif
SIALKOT (Dunya News) – Former defence minister Khawaja Asif said on Monday the Sialkot economy had been strengthened by the motorway.
Addressing a ceremony at a local factory, the former minister said the late Sufi Khursheed had played an important role in industrialisation of the city.
“In 2000, I said Sialkot would be an export hub and that happened,” he said. He said the motorway was the first breakthrough for the economy of the city during the last 75 years.

“Industry will benefit from the road as it will connect the city to the federal capital, Islamabad. Basic issues have been resolved as the bridges are constructed and Sial Airlines is another thumping success for the city,” Asif added.
