Earlier, the current Foreign Minister, Ishaq Dar, was appointed Deputy Prime Minister of Pakistan.
Sources say that Ishaq Dar’s office is being established in the Prime Minister’s Office, and he will work from there after the foreign office is vacant for Bilawal.
Sources revealed that Ishaq Dar was never satisfied as foreign minister, as he always wanted to look after his favorite finance ministry. But Shahbaz Sharif and others in the PMN (N) wanted to keep him away.
