The Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) is currently contemplating Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s proposal to join the federal cabinet, according to sources. PM Sharif has expressed a desire for Hina Rabbani Khar to serve as the foreign minister, a position she previously held during the PPP's previous term in power. Despite some reluctance within the PPP, PM Sharif is open to the party's choice for the FM role, emphasizing collaboration and burden-sharing.
PM Sharif has also appointed Ishaq Dar as the deputy prime minister, potentially indicating a future shift in the FM position. The PML-N is actively pursuing cooperative governance and engaging with PPP leadership to facilitate their inclusion in the cabinet.
Bilawal Bhutto Zardari's previous tenure as FM was characterized by proactive diplomacy, focusing on enhancing Pakistan's global standing, strengthening regional ties, and advocating for climate change relief. The PPP is expected to make a decision on joining the federal cabinet soon, prioritizing national interests.
