A spokesperson for the prime minister's house contradicted reports regarding the change of the foreign minister. The Pakistan government on Tuesday said there were no plans to change
incumbent Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar, with a spokesperson describing reports in this regard as "baseless and speculative". A spokesperson for the prime minister's
house contradicted reports regarding the change of the foreign minister. He said the media had "insinuated" from Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani's recent statement that a
change was imminent. While welcoming President Asif Ali Zardari's visit to India on Sunday, Gilani had said that a "new team" would give "new impetus to normalization of
relations between India and Pakistan", the spokesman said. The spokesperson contended that the premier's remarks about a "new team" were a reference to new Foreign
Secretary Jalil Abbas Jillani and High Commissioner-designate to India, Salman Bashir, who recently retired as foreign secretary.
