LAHORE: Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Political Affairs Naeemul Haque on Tuesday said that Prime Minister Imran Khan is likely to pay a visit to the United States in “one to two months”.

Addressing a press conference, Naeemul Haque said that PM Imran has decided to stay at the ambassador’s home during his US visit in order to set an example of austerity for avoiding hefty expenditures while staying at hotels there.

The special assistant also confirmed that Emir of Qatar, Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, is visiting Pakistan next week and he will announce $20 billion investment during his upcoming visit.

“The nation will visit revolutionary changes in the next few months which would transform Pakistan into one of the best states of the world.”

While commenting over the proposed Budget 2019-20, Haque predicted that the budget will be passed till June 29. He added that the federal government has suggested opposition parties to sign a code of conduct for the Parliament which will allow both sides for continuity of NA proceedings by not making any interruption in the speeches.

“They [opposition leaders] have made a decision for barricading the federal government to move ahead. If you are serious for the empowerment of democracy, then an agreement on a code of conduct should be signed for the continuation of NA session,” he said
