Pakistan PM Imran Khan kicks off austerity measures for struggling economy

Imran Khan made his first speech as Pakistan's prime minister late Sunday, giving a wide-ranging, televised address in which he announced reforms targeting corruption and focusing on human development in the rapidly growing country. Khan addressed the nation for more than an hour, repeating many of his campaign pledges to build an Islamic welfare state but also touching on issues rarely mentioned by Pakistani prime ministers such as fighting child sex abuse and climate change. Without naming names, he vowed to improve Pakistan's relationship with neighbouring countries, and to improve security in restive Balochistan province and the tribal areas along the border with Afghanistan.

Getting a visa to Pakistan is a arduous and time consuming process. Foreign investment starts with ease of travel.

Prime Minister Imran khan is a man of mission...
On other hand Modi has spent 3000 crores on foreign visit...

Good. But austerity measures don't help an economy- it may help a household. It does send a moral message though. The only way to recover from an economic slump is economic growth. Investments from abroad.
