Bilawal Bhutto likely to be Pakistan's next foreign minister, say sources

According to a media source, Bilawal Bhutto is expected to be selected as Pakistan's next foreign minister in the new Shehbaz Sharif led government.

While the roles of prime minister and president are significant, the question of who will be the new government's foreign minister is also crucial, since the combined opposition has repeatedly targeted Khan's government for its misguided foreign policy.

The Oxford-educated politician said in a recent interview with a British newspaper that his appointment as the new foreign minister would be decided by the party.
