The federal minister vowed that the incumbent coalition government was determined for the bright future of the country and building up the economy on sustainable basis.

He said that an inquiry had been initiated against those who were responsible for "jeopardizing the profitable services of the Pakistan Post".

The minister said that all the suggestions received from the Pakistan Post were being implemented and there were several measures in the pipeline to uplift the standard of postal services and revitalizing the financial position of the organization.
