During the announcement, Bilal bin Saqib expressed appreciation for US President Donald Trump, crediting him for his efforts to foster peace amid recent Pakistan-India tensions and for his influence in the growing global acceptance of cryptocurrency.

He highlighted that Pakistan is evolving beyond its geographical boundaries, transforming into a digital movement spearheaded by the youth.

“We are not prisoners of the past but architects of the future,” he stated, emphasizing his role as a voice for the new generation rather than just a minister.
