Wouldn’t have burdened govt, says Pak PM on ‘sponsored’ Davos trip: Report


Addressing the ‘Breakfast at Davos’, an event jointly organised by Pathfinder Group and Martin Dow Group on Thursday, Khan said his trip cost 10 times less than those of the previous leaders, Dawn news said in a report. Thanking Sehgal, a retired military officer and chairman of the Pathfinder Group, Khan said: “He is instrumental in getting me here. Reiterating that this was an “austerity programme”, Khan said the government should rely on the over nine million Pakistanis residing overseas. “The GDP of those nine million overseas Pakistanis in my opinion is almost 50 per cent of Pakistan’s (overall) GDP of 200 million people. “Whenever they say they want to go somewhere, I immediately cancel the trip until they convince me that it will be productive for the country.
