“He is in good health and high spirits. The embassy stands ready to facilitate his return to Pakistan, in accordance with his wishes and convenience. [I] am pleased to extend our gratitude to all our friendly countries who actively engaged and assisted in this behalf to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Pakistan,” he said on social media platform X.
