In relation to the Toshakhana case involving the former prime minister, the authorities summoned Pakistan’s Consul General in Dubai, Hassan Afzal Khan, for further investigation.
Hassan Afzal Khan, who is the former chief of protocol and director general of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, has duly returned to the department as requested. It is worth mentioning that the chief of protocol receives a comprehensive list of various matters pertaining to the foreign visits of the prime ministers through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
