ISLAMABAD: Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi on Thursday said about 76 developing countries including Pakistan would get debt relief from the 1st May initially for a period of one year.

In a statement regarding successful economic diplomacy of Pakistan, he pointed out that the Prime Minister Imran Khan’s appeal for debt relief and restructuring for developing countries was endorsed by the UN Secretary General, the International Monetary Fund and the G-20 countries at a meeting on Apr 15.

The foreign minister said Pakistan spent one third of its revenue on payment of debt and this debt relief would greatly benefit Pakistan.

Shah Mahmood Qureshi said the coronavirus had badly affected the developing economies including their exports and remittances. In this background, he said, PM Imran Khan had appealed to the UN Secretary General as well as world leaders and financial institutions to provide debt relief to the developing countries to help them better cope with the situation.

“This will enable the developing countries to divert their resources to the protection of lives of the people and make their health systems more effective to respond to the challenge,” he said.
