'Even friendly countries think we are beggars'

True picture of Pakistan's devastating economic state now lay bare as the country's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif expressed regret that even friendly countries have now started looking at Pakistan as a country that was always begging for money, media reports said.

"Today, when we go to any friendly country or make a phone call, they think that we have come [to them] to beg for money," the Prime Minister said while addressing a lawyers' convention.
