“Pakistan has done what no other nation has done. We came out of this irregular conflict and for the first time in the history of Pakistan, we have a leader who is an environmentalist, pro-tourism, pro-culture and has a long-term vision,” Fawad was quoted as saying by Pakistan Today.
The minister also emphasized on media's role in establishing a positive image of Pakistan around the world. He noted that the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government was eyeing visa policy changes and they needed media's support.
The minister said policy changes might take some time but Pakistan was in hands of great leadership.

In 2018, the British Backpacker Society ranked Pakistan as the world’s top adventure travel destination, describing the country as “one of the friendliest countries on earth, with mountain scenery that is beyond anyone’s wildest imagination.”
