DAVOS: Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif Saturday said the world leaders held positive opinion about Pakistan because of its progress on the economic front.

Talking to media in Davos before leaving for Geneva, the prime minister said the presence at the World Economic Forum has provided him an opportunity to interact with the world political and business leaders and apprise them of Pakistan’s economic successes. To a question, Nawaz said his government was pursuing a progressive and forward-looking agenda as per the vision of Quaid-e-Azam. It is in this context that women are being encouraged to take active part in the country’s progress and development, he said, and added that women have been given reasonable representation in parliament as well. He pointed out that under the youth loan scheme; fifty percent loans were being given to the women.

Separately, talking to a group of Pakistani students and experts at the CERN, the European Organisation for Nuclear Research, along the Franco-Swiss border, the prime minister said the nation was proud of its brilliant scientists and engineers who were building the country’s image and bringing the latest technology to Pakistan.

This was the first visit of a Pakistani head of government to the top scientific research organisation.

The prime minister said the nation was proud of its scientific community as they were bringing a good name to the country.

He visited the CMS (Compact Muon S) - the largest particle collider in the world that was part of the 27 km long Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and witnessed the huge 14000 tons heavy outer and inner shields built by the Heavy Mechanical Complex Taxila.

One of the best technologies of the CERN was the invention of the World Wide Web. It also led to the creation of the ‘Grid’ that harnesses the power of computers around the world. Pakistan is also part of the Grid network that allows its scientists analyse data generated at the CERN.

The prime minister said that Pakistan considered it a matter of immense pride to have become an associate member of CERN last year especially as it was the first non-European country to have achieved this milestone.
