ISLAMABAD: Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar chaired a meeting with senior officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to review the implementation of the austerity measures announced by the prime minister.
Ishaq Dar stressed the need for fiscal discipline, prudent use of public resources, and aligning the ministry’s operations with the government’s commitment to economic responsibility.
He emphasised efficient administrative practices and limiting expenditures to essential commitments, directing officials to identify areas where costs can be optimised without affecting Pakistan’s diplomatic outreach and consular services.
Reaffirming full support for the government’s austerity drive, the DPM/FM underscored the ministry’s commitment to responsible governance, transparency, and efficient utilisation of public funds while continuing to safeguard Pakistan’s foreign policy interests.
