Ishaq Dar, the finance minister of Pakistan, announced on Saturday that the country’s political climate had prompted the prime minister to urge him to cancel his trip to Washington for the IMF and World Bank’s spring meetings.
Dar, however, stated that a Pakistani delegation would be in attendance in Washington and that he would participate digitally in significant bilateral and international discussions.
A rescue programme from the International Monetary Fund has been on hold since November, and the administration and former prime minister Imran Khan are engaged in a bitter political struggle that puts Pakistan in danger of defaulting on its debt.
