If the insiders are to be believed, Bilawal would join the cabinet of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif as foreign minister. They claimed that Bilawal, who was initially reluctant to join the cabinet, agreed to become the foreign minister once again. The incumbent foreign minister, Ishaq Dar, was appointed as deputy prime minister to allow room for Bilawal to become the top diplomat. Dar, according to sources, was never comfortable as foreign minister as he always wanted to look after his favourite Finance Ministry. Sources in the Foreign Office said that Bilawal is a good choice as he proved himself to be an able foreign minister during his 16-month stint before the elections.
