No hidden deal behind economic package announced by KSA: FM

ISLAMABAD, Oct 24 (APP):Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi on Wednesday said Pakistan did not make any hidden deal with Saudi Arabia to overcome the widening balance of payments and current deficit crisis.
Dispelling the impression of secret deal behind the Saudi package for Pakistan, he said KSA had not placed any condition on our country for returning the $6 billion financial support.
He said the assistance provided by Saudi Arabia will lessen the financial burden on Pakistan, adding that we were thankful to Saudi Arabia for helping us in this difficult hour.
He said we were trying to get loans from other friendly countries so that we could rely less on IMF, he added.
Prime Minister Imran Khan had promised to recover stolen money from the corrupt elements, he said.
