ISLAMABAD - Federal government may announce Friday as the weekly holiday, media reports have suggested.
The federal government is considering to announce Friday as a weekly off instead of Sunday.
The decision is likely to be taken to further strengthen the business relations with Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries including the UAE and Qatar.
Media reports are suggesting that the government has asked various religious sectors for their input on the matter.
It is to be noted that Friday is a weekly off in Arab countries while Pakistanis enjoy the weekend on Saturday and Sunday.
The matter may improve Pakistan’s business ties with Arab countries as; currently, the business sectors of these countries get a chance to work together on four days a week – on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
