Prime Minister's Secretariat

The Prime Minister's Secretariat is a government building in Islamabad, Pakistan, marked by pale facades, columns, and balanced forms. The complex rises across several floors with offices, conference rooms, and security zones connected by wide corridors.

Construction began in the early 1960s as the new capital took shape. Completion followed at the end of the decade to provide the government with a central administrative center.

The complex carries a name that reflects its role as the seat of executive leadership and remains closed to the public. Its grounds display plantings common to Pakistani government districts, blending order with greenery in formal arrangements.

Access is restricted to authorized personnel, and the surroundings are secured by military checkpoints. Visitors may view the exterior from public roads nearby but should avoid photography and extended stops.

Within the grounds lie residential quarters that allow leaders to combine work and private space under one roof. The site was among the first major projects completed in the planned capital and helped shape the city's layout.
