LONDON: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif met former premier and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo Nawaz Sharif during his visit to London to attend state funeral of late Queen Elizabeth II.

He arrived at office of his nephew Hussain Nawaz in London to meet his brother, accompanied by former finance minister Ishaq Dar, Defence Minister Khawaja Asif and his son Suleman Shehbaz.

PML-N leaders sat down to discuss current political and economic situation in Pakistan, along with other issues. Earlier, Federal Energy Minister Khurram Dastagir said that premier is likely to discuss appointment of new Chief of Army Staff as well during his meeting with Nawaz. Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa is set to retire in last week of November.

Matter of new chief’s selection has since caused a stir in political circles with Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf and government coming to verbal blows on matter.
