Prime Minister Imran Khan while addressing a gathering at COMSTECH said that one's actions, not the resources he has, determine the outcome they will receive.

"The biggest quality that takes a nation upwards is self-belief. This belief increases as the nation progresses and reaches a stage where the nation thinks it can overcome any challenge," the prime minister said.

"The small island of Britain dominated the world. What did it have that was so special? It was self belief."

He congratulated Minister for Science and Technology Fawad Chaudhry for seeing the potential in a dormant industry.
