Fawad said the development comes following Prime Minister Imran Khan's telephonic interaction with the dignitaries over the phone during the last 24 hours.

The information minister further said that the federal Cabinet had today reviewed the measures related to austerity, finances and making travel convenient for overseas Pakistanis to the country.

Responding to a question, Fawad said an Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, termed the largest ever foreign investment, will be finalised "this week".
