The conference is aimed at exploring avenues for consensus-based economic measures with all the stakeholders on board.

The PM said the government will consider the participants' ideas for a flourishing economy with a strong foundation for development.

Shunning mutual differences, the people should come forward and help the government to get back on track to a better future.

Industry executives from agriculture, information technology, textiles, manufacturing, and other sectors will also speak at the conference.

Last month, reports cited the finance minister as saying that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif was ready to sign the charter of the economy despite the different ideologies of political parties.
