During the meeting, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif emphasized the need to stabilize Pakistan’s economy amid political tensions with the PTI-led KP government. He also discussed recent positive developments in negotiations with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and highlighted Pakistan's diplomatic efforts and military cooperation in addressing regional security issues, including support for Saudi Arabia against Houthi attacks.

Story summary
The political crisis in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) escalated as opposition party PTI began a protest march, leading the federal government to invoke emergency powers under Articles 232 and 234 of Pakistan's Constitution on October 10.
