Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan on Wednesday promised to support small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the country to lift people out of poverty.

Addressing an event organised by the Sialkot business community following the inauguration of Air Sial - the third private airline of Pakistan - the premier reiterated the federal government's aim to reduce poverty in the country and to help less developed areas including Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), Gilgit-Baltistan (G-B) and some districts of Balochistan and Punjab.

He underscored that Federal Minister for Industries and Production Hammad Azhar and Adviser to Prime Minister on Commerce and Investment Abdul Razak Dawood and the business community have a solid interaction. "They listen to their problems and convey it to us, and we try our best to solve them," he observed.
