Pakistan's President Asif Ali Zardari reconstitutes Council of Common Interests (CCI), replacing finance minister with foreign minister Ishaq Dar, marking the first time a foreign minister is part of the CCI.
Pakistan's President Asif Ali Zardari has reconstituted the Council of Common Interests (CCI), a top constitutional body, replacing the finance minister with foreign minister Ishaq Dar. This marks the first time a foreign minister has been part of the CCI, traditionally led by a finance minister due to their involvement in financial matters. The CCI plays a crucial role in resolving disagreements between the federal government and provinces in matters such as natural resource distribution, following recent cabinet reshuffles by PM Shehbaz Sharif, which saw the finance minister's role in decision-making committees being diminished.
