Sharif was of the view that a nation marred by plights can progress if right people rule the country.
He slammed the ousted government led by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), saying last International Monetary Fund (IMF) programme was signed by the former PM and it hampered economic recovery.
In his address, PM thanked China, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) for financial support during hard times, and mentioned developing a comprehensive plan for economic recovery.
