ISLAMABAD – Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan has allotted Defence Minister Khurram Dastgir Khan the additional portfolio of Foreign Ministry on Friday.

The post of foreign minister had been vacated following Khawaja Asif’s disqualification on April 26. The former foreign minister was disqualified by the Islamabad High Court under Article 62 (1)(f) of the Constitution for failing to disclose his employment in a UAE company and the monthly salary he was receiving.
