Foreign Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar commended the professionalism and integrity of Pakistan's military leadership.
In an interview with Samaa TV, Ishaq Dar has shed light on his ongoing legal battles, particularly regarding allegations of tax evasion.
Dar asserted, "My name was added in Panama for not submitting tax returns for many years," while firmly stating, "I have never been 20 minutes late for a tax return."
He explained the judicial and political manoeuvring surrounding his case, including the issuance of red warrants and subsequent cancellation by Interpol after presenting evidence.
The deputy premier respected the current military leadership, describing them as "professional, honest, and looking after the country."
He detailed the cooperation between the military and the government and mentioned that important meetings were held with British officials during his recent visit to London.
Dar stressed Pakistan’s strong international relations, noting upcoming visits by British ministers and the importance of enhancing cooperation with the UK.
Dar highlighted the government's efforts to improve the economic situation, stating, "Pakistan was going to become the 24th economy of the world, but in 4 years it became 47th."
He acknowledged the damage done to the economy but expressed hope for recovery, citing a decrease in the inflation rate and the expected introduction of a new monetary policy aimed at reducing interest rates.
Dar also underscored the ongoing privatisation of government institutions and the need for judicial reforms.
