Islamabad, In an unprecedented move, Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif is set to finance his upcoming three-day official visit to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia out of his own pocket. This decision marks his first foreign trip since taking office and signifies a notable departure from traditional state-funded visits.

According to Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, Minister for Information and Broadcasting Attaullah Tarar announced today that the Prime Minister would be traveling via commercial flight, accompanied by members of his delegation who will also cover their own expenses for the journey. This approach reflects a commitment to fiscal responsibility and personal investment in the diplomatic relations between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia.
