In addition to that, the adviser told that Prime Minister Imran Khan will hold a couple of meetings. In the first meeting, we would negotiate on export targets for the upcoming financial year.

It was intentionally ignored in the current budget and the government would finalize it after having a meeting with the finance minister.
