The two reportedly discussued key political, economic and administrative issues facing the cash-strapped country.
Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has met his elder brother and former premier Nawaz Sharif in London and briefed him on key political, economic and administrative issues facing the cash-strapped country.
Mr. Shehbaz, accompanied by a group of senior leaders of his Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) party, travelled to London on a private trip on Wednesday, May 11, 2022.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, Information Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb said the meeting reviewed in detail the steps taken by the government since it came to power last month and considered recommendations to save the public from inflation and power outages.
The PML-N delegation dashed to London as political and economic pressure mounted on the government which is expecting organised protests by ousted premier Imran Khan who is demanding early elections.
Ms. Marriyum said another meeting has been scheduled for Thursday during which concrete decisions are expected to steer the country out of trouble, the Dawn newspaper reported.
The meeting would approve a strategy to steer the country out of economic and constitutional crises. All decisions would be announced with the support of the coalition parties, she said in a statement.
The UK visit marked the Sharif brothers’ first in-person meeting since March 2020. Other London-based party figures were also present at the meeting which was held at an undisclosed location, the report said.
