Riyadh TN Media News: In a visionary piece originally written in 2017, Faisal Tahir Khan, a respected global entrepreneur and CEO of FT Koncepts, called for national unity and strategic direction to secure Pakistan’s future prosperity. He presented a bold vision for Pakistan’s emergence as the next Asian economic powerhouse by the country’s 100th Independence Day in 2047.
Pakistan’s Strategic Strengths and Global Position:
Faisal Khan highlighted Pakistan’s geopolitical advantages, economic potential, and institutional capabilities:
A population of nearly 200 million
A growing USD 300 billion economy
A thriving stock market
The only Islamic nuclear power
One of the most respected armed forces in the world
He also stressed the significance of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), which is expected to attract investments exceeding USD 100 billion, positioning Pakistan as a vital global trade and energy corridor.
Institutional Harmony as a Path to Stability:
Khan warned against internal friction and called for institutional harmony to ensure sustainable growth.
He proposed a grand national dialogue among all key pillars of the state—military, judiciary, civil service, political leadership, and bureaucracy. This, he argued, should lead to a National Development Charter, focusing on economic growth and political stability, moving beyond historical grievances.
A Democratic Future Through Patience and Maturity:
A strong advocate for democratic values, Faisal Khan urged Pakistan to allow democracy to grow organically.
He stressed that true leadership emerges over time, not through artificial means.
“Better leaders will rise through time,” Khan wrote, “if we allow democracy to mature.”
Shift Focus from Politics to Progress:
Khan encouraged citizens to move the national conversation beyond political rivalry. Instead, he proposed a new focus on areas that truly define national development in the 21st century:
-
Technology and AI
-
Infrastructure and innovation
-
Education and human capital
He emphasized that these areas—not endless debates over power—will determine Pakistan’s global standing.
A Vision for Pakistan at 100:
Looking ahead to Pakistan’s centennial in 2047, Faisal envisioned a united, innovative, and peaceful nation. He called upon all Pakistanis to play their part in nation-building.
“Let us guide our national ship with wisdom and courage,” he wrote,
“so that future generations inherit a Pakistan that is confident, progressive, and proud.”
