KARACHI: Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi arrived in Karachi on Sunday. 

Sources said the premier will visit Port Qasim where he will inaugurate a Liquified Natural Gas terminal. 

Abbasi, who was elected as the country's premier earlier this month following Nawaz Sharif's disqualification, served as the petroleum and natural resources minister in Sharif's cabinet. 

At present, Abbasi also retains the portfolio of the newly-formed 'energy ministry', which incorporated the ministries of power and petroleum.
