Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari met Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Chief of Defence Forces (CDF) Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir on Thursday to review the country’s economic situation. According to details surfaced on Thursday, the former foreign minister was in Davos, where he met the prime minister and the CDF on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum (WEF). The meeting covered national and international matters, with particular focus on steps to improve Pakistan’s economic conditions. Earlier on Wednesday, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said Pakistan had come out of difficult conditions and was close to economic stability.
