Prime Minister Imran Khan has stated today that for Pakistan food security has become an issue of national security.

While talking at the National Kissan Convention in Islamabad, PM Imran mentioned that Pakistan’s “biggest challenge” in the coming times would be of food security.

Clarifying the exact nature of the issue, he told the audience that Pakistan had to import 4 million tons of wheat previous year alone to manage a deficit.

“The expense for that was in foreign exchange, in a country that is already short of dollars,” said PM Imran Khan.

He added that it was unsustainable for the country to keep on going like this.

“The rate at which our population is increasing [we need to ask] in the next 10, 15 years how will we create food for our population?” he further stated

 “If we want to save our nation from the challenges ahead [we need to see that] food security in reality [has become] national security,” said PM Imran Khan.

He said that Pakistan does not recognize Israel because of the killings it commits against Palestine .

“They scratched their heads and came up with a solution to turn even a desert into fertile land.”
