Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Senator Ishaq Dar formally assumed on Tuesday his role as the 39th foreign minister of the country.

The Foreign Office posted the development on social media platform X.

Dar was among the 19-member federal cabinet, who took the oath in a ceremony, on Monday, after his name was recommended by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif for the portfolio.

Through a notification Sunday, senators Ishaq Dar along with Musadik Malik were recommended to be appointed as federal ministers under clause 9 of Article 91 of the Constitution, as both will cease to be senators on March 12 following the end of their Senate term.

“Federal Ministers, notwithstanding that on ceasing to be members of the Senate of Pakistan on 12th March 2024, they, in terms of clause 9 of Article 91 of the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, shall continue in office as federal ministers,” read a notification with regard to the outgoing senators Dar and Malik.

Dar is a former finance minister and is regarded as the close confidant of PML-N Supremo Nawaz Sharif.

Foreign Ministers need to be diplomatic and put their egos and personal interests aside. This man is absolutely unqualified for this job.

He knew how to negotiate with the IMF.And he would give a befitting reply to any financial institutions that downgrade the country 's ratings.Those skills didn't deliver then,and won't be any good now

Why? What is his qualification? He failed miserably at his first portfolio, do you want him to destroy this next one to? This is lunacy.
