While the geopolitical stakes could not be higher amid the Middle East conflict, observers following Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s dizzying diplomatic blitz this week have been distracted by the prime minister’s impeccable presentation on the world stage.
From April 15 to 18, Prime Minister Shehbaz embarked on a four-day race through Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Turkiye.
During the visit, he held high-level meetings with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani of Qatar and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
The prime minister embarked on the marathon three-nation visit as Pakistan intensified its efforts to mediate a lasting peace between the United States and Iran.
But amid the intense diplomacy, social media users couldn’t help but notice how smart Prime Minister Shehbaz looked doing so.
Photos from Jeddah, Doha and the 5th Antalya Diplomacy Forum circulated widely online, with X users and up admiring the prime minister’s crisp, well-tailored ensembles.
No wonder. If there is one thing that has long been considered unique about Prime Minister Shehbaz, it is his sense of style.
The discussion about the prime minister’s sharp Western suits began after Derek Guy, writer for The New York Timeshighlighted how non-Western leaders have adopted Western formal dress.
Pakistani netizens soon joined the conversation, praising the prime minister’s refined sense of style during his diplomatic visits around the world.
