Pakistan’s finance minister Miftah Ismail says he will formally resign from role
Finance Minister Dr Miftah Ismail confirmed on Sunday that he will step down from his position, a development that took place as the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), leader of the coalition government, held a high-level huddle in London.
Miftah, who accompanied Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif to London, said he has “verbally resigned as Finance Minister”.
“In a meeting with Mian Nawaz Sharif and PM Shehbaz Sharif today, I have verbally resigned as Finance Minister.
“I will tender a formal resignation upon reaching Pakistan. It’s been an honour to serve twice as Finance Minister. Pakistan Paindabad,” said Miftah in a tweet.
