Pakistani Information Minister Ataullah Tarar responded to queries regarding the support for Xarmina's international endeavor, highlighting the potential impact of her representation on Pakistan's global image. "If she has contributed positively to Pakistan's soft image and development, her achievements should be acknowledged and supported," Tarar stated during a press briefing in Islamabad.
