A cabinet notification dated May 17 said Prime Minister Imran Khan has appointed Yusuf, his Special Assistant on National Security, as the country's National Security Adviser.

"The Prime Minister has been pleased to approve that Dr Moeed W Yusuf, Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on National Security and Strategic Policy Planning, shall function as National Security Adviser with the status of Federal Minister, with immediate effect," said the notification.
