ISLAMABAD: Federal Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry said that the federal cabinet reviewed as many as 172 names on the Exit Control List, and sent 32 cases for review to a committee.
Speaking in a press briefing after the cabinet meeting, the information minister said: “Zardari has a solid place in the ECL list.”
The premier said that in the six-month time Pakistan received phenomenal success in the realm of foreign policy.
“Pakistan has become a significant player in the Middle East. After a span of as many as 12 years, a United Arab Emirates official visited the country. Saudi crown prince Muhammad bin Salman’s Pakistan visit will vindicate Pakistan’s position in the Middle East,” he said.

“Our relations with the US is improving. It’s the first time the US is following Pakistan’s point of view. Pakistan played an important role in the dialogue between Washington and Taliban,” he said. “PM Imran believes dialogue is the only solution for war.”
