Senior government and military officials in Pakistan have deposited a total of 422 foreign gifts into the Toshakhana during 2025. The move follows stricter rules on how such gifts must be handled.

Those who submitted gifts include Asif Ali Zardari, Shehbaz Sharif, Ishaq Dar, and Yousaf Raza Gilani. Other key figures, such as Mohsin Naqvi, Attaullah Tarar, Shaza Fatima Khawaja, and Maryam Nawaz, also complied with the rules.

Top military officials also deposited their gifts. These include Syed Asim Munir, Zaheer Ahmed Baber Sidhu, Naveed Ashraf, Syed Amir Raza, and Nadeem Ahmed.

Political leaders like Bilawal Bhutto Zardari and Malik Ahmad Khan, along with federal secretaries and other officials, also deposited their gifts.

The items include luxury watches, carpets, tea and coffee sets, swords, daggers, perfumes, shawls, paintings, books, and decorative pieces. These gifts were received during foreign visits and official meetings.

Officials said that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif received the highest number of gifts, all of which were submitted to the Toshakhana.

Under the new law, officials are no longer allowed to keep or purchase these gifts. All items must be deposited and will later be auctioned in accordance with official rules.

The decision aims to increase transparency and ensure that state gifts are handled fairly.
