Foreign Minister Khawaja Asif briefed on Thursday London Mayor Sadiq Khan on Pakistan’s economic successes.

In a meeting at the Foreign Office in Islamabad, Asif congratulated Sadiq on his “effective leadership of a city like London with its multiple demands”.

“The foreign minister also briefed the mayor about Pakistan’s successes in the economic field and the regional situation,” a Foreign Office statement said.
