ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Tuesday summoned the first meeting of his federal cabinet shortly after the members were sworn in in the first phase at an oath-taking ceremony at Aiwan-e-Sadr.

The newly formed cabinet will meet at PM House tomorrow (Wednesday) at 10am, a private news channel reported.

All the newly appointed cabinet members and advisers will attend the meeting, where the current political and economic situation of the country will be discussed.

It has been almost two months since the last federal cabinet meeting was held under an agenda. However, special meetings of the cabinet were summoned during this period but only for approval on specific matters, such as the much-talked-about “threat letter”.

PM Shehbaz Sharif’s cabinet was finally formed after much anticipation and delays.

Senate Chairman Sadiq Sanjarani adminstered the oath to the members of the federal cabinet. So far, the cabinet has 31 federal ministers, three ministers of state and three advisers.
