Commenting on media reports that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has left for the United States to attend the UN General Assembly session along with a 71-member delegation, a government statement said that the reports were untrue because the PM’s delegation comprises only 35 people.
First Lady Kalsoom Nawaz, Minister for Finance Muhammad Ishaq Dar, Adviser to the PM on National Security and Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz and Minister of State for Information Technology Anusha Rehman are accompanying the prime minister.
The PM’s 35-member delegation includes seven members of the official media team, seven security staff and five air-force crew members, said a statement issued by the PM Office.
