The two most redundant positions in Pakistan! Defense minister and foreign minister. Both policies are actually controlled by the same institution. Probably that's why this 'portfolio' was added to the same individual.

Important ministries are distributed like Halloween candies to any Tom & Jerry in this country. That's the main reason Pakistan is on the verge of destruction and total economic collapse.

Don 't be surprised if next week he's also names as Minister of Agriculture, followed by SEC Chairman and then Minister o Science of Technology too. Though I bet he has no knowledge or training in either fields.

He probably has as much knowledge about foreign affairs as a common man in the street about quantum physics.

So what is he really trained to handle or qualified for? Someone jumping from one post to another and learning his duties over weeks and months, makes him as effective on the job as a rusty door knob! It is better to good at something, than to be mediocre in everything!

What a Combination . Defence plus Foreign . Very clear on who is in charge in democratic Pakistan

Welcome to the unique and distinguished club. Keep it up and hang on tough for maybe, one more month. Thereafter, sky is the limit.

Wow Pakistan government is playing advanced level of musical chair !!

The job of defense minister and foreign minister is too large a job for one man. Nawaz has a habit of making his trusted lieutenants control over more than one major ministry because he won't delegate power to men he does not trust. That was the most important reason to sack him. He wants to control everything for his own benefit and call it democracy.

No wonder the country is in dire straits. in their mind only few can be trusted irrespective whether or not they are competent or qualified for a job. Hasn't the same modus operandi already caused enough damage specially in the regime of foreign affairs? Why they are bent on more of the same, and that too at the tail end of their few days in power?

Is Pakistan short of talent?

Very good. Do something good for the country. Use wisdom. Stand up for Pakistan. Wish you success. Long live Pakistan.

What is he going to accomplish in remaining 20 days of this government. These are just totally bogus appointments

KDK can handle the short span of portfolio upto election, Pak today is a very important and relevant country on globe. The stragedic location, the newly wed CPEC related agreements with powerful China, better relations with Russia,has shifted Pak towards nonalignment, but got reprisals like devaluation in its currency rupee, as US slightly tune down its support level. Ofcourse it has business like options viz to raise CSF charges or logistic fees enhancement towards Afghanistan, but so far it's demonstrating a cooperative approach thinking in long term. Pak has to follow its own interests in foreign policy, the main hurdle is relations with India, but recently India shows some understanding to Chinese leverage exercised in SCO and other contacts.Pak India both have reduced the tension on LOC, and better peaceful relations insight, which includes free trade & more travels, an easy visa regime in track II talks in offing.
