Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has described Pakistan’s election as chairman of the Intergovernmental Group of Twenty-Four (G-24) as a significant diplomatic achievement, saying it would strengthen the country’s role in international economic affairs.
According to a spokesperson, the prime minister expressed satisfaction over the development and praised Finance Minister Senator Muhammad Aurangzeb and his team for their hard work, diplomatic efforts and professional expertise.
