What It Is
The Pakistan Secretariat is where the federal executive lives: the ministries and divisions that draft policy, prepare cabinet summaries and implement the government’s decisions. It works under the Cabinet Division (cabinet.gov.pk) and the Cabinet Secretary, reporting to the Prime Minister. The complex sits in the Red Zone — the high-security enclave also holding the PM Office, Parliament and the Supreme Court. The full pillar: Pak Secretariat: complete guide.
