Pakistan's newly elected Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif's 19-member Cabinet was sworn into office on Monday, marking the beginning of a new era for the country. The inauguration ceremony took place at the presidential office in Islamabad, where President Asif Ali Zardari administered the oath of office to the ministers in the presence of Prime Minister Sharif.
Sharif, who was elected as prime minister by the parliament following a coalition formation with several allies, has taken on the challenging task of addressing Pakistan's ongoing economic crisis. This comes after his predecessor, Imran Khan, was ousted in a no-confidence vote in the National Assembly.
