The cost of Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan’s 12 foreign trips to three continents has been calculated to total $680,000, which is less than half the cost of a single visit to New York by both former President Asif Ali Zardari, and the former PM, Nawaz Sharif.
According to the official figures shared by the PM’s Office, Khan has cut his office and official residence budgets by 40 percent by maintaining his austerity drive.

His 26 foreign trips had cost almost Rs. 176 million ($1.1 million at the current exchange rate), which is less than just one of Zardari’s trips to New York nine years ago that had cost $1.1 million, and is slightly higher than Sharif’s trip to the same city in 2016 that had cost $901,250.
Note that the foreign trips that are not common among the three heads were been excluded from the analysis.
