Finance Ministry denies Dar’s meeting with Panama deputy minister

Author:

ISLAMABAD – The Ministry of Finance spokesman has rebuffed the media reports regarding claims of meeting of Panama Deputy Minister of Economy Ivan Zarak with Minister for Finance Ishaq Dar in Washington.

The spokesperson said that claims of Zarak during interview with foreign media about his meeting with Dar were baseless, unfound and extremely surprising. He said that Dar had cancelled his visit to Washington DC, where he was scheduled to participate in the World Bank/International Monetary Fund Spring Meetings from 14-17 April, 2016.

“How could Zarak meet Dar when the latter has not even left Pakistan in the last many weeks, he questioned, adding that the finance minister was in Pakistan and performing his day to day duties, which are being covered by the media as well. The matter is being taken up with the foreign media for wrong reporting, the spokesman said.
