Mr Bhutto made these comments while he was responding to reporters who criticized him for the making a country that is struggling with an economic crisis bear the expenses of his foreign trips.

"I must be the only foreign minister who buys his own tickets, pays his own hotel bills and does not put the burden on Pakistan and its people," Mr Bhutto was heard telling the reporters in Washington.

"Even if I am entitled to these expenses, as a Foreign Minister...These trips are not for my benefit. They have benefited Pakistan. It is my hard work. When others go abroad then they go for a holiday. These people make me work like a donkey," he claimed while referring to his team.

The Foreign Minister also claimed that the benefit to Pakistan, was that the nation had moved from the Grey List of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) - the international watchdog on terror financing - and that now the country is "leading the G-77".

The Pakistan Foreign Ministry also denied reports of Mr Bhutto's arrest in New York.
