PM chairs meeting to review agenda of US visit, security situation
The meeting reviewed possibility of exposing India for terror sponsorship in Pakistan
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Prime Minister (PM) Nawaz Sharif on Friday has reviewed security situation of the country and agenda for United States (US) visit in a meeting in the federal capital.
The matters holding great importance for Pakistan in the current scenario were discussed. Implementation on national action plan (NAP), Afghanistan’s poor security situation and PM’s US visit were among the topics explored.
The meeting reviewed possibility of exposing India for terror sponsorship in Pakistan. The PM will most probably unmask Indian intelligence agency’s interference largely in Karachi and Balochistan.
The high-level meeting today was attended by Interior Minister Chaudhary Nisar Ali Khan, Advisor on Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz, Special Assistant on Foreign Affairs Tariq Fatemi, Chief of Army Staff General Raheel Sharif, Director General ISPR Asim Saleem Bajwa and other senior officials.
PM Nawaz earlier, dwelled on the issue in his United Nations (UN) General Assembly session in September in New York. His speech largely talked about Kashmir dispute and Indian inflexibility. However, Indian external affairs minister Sushma Swaraj attempted to refute Pakistan’s legitimate concerns and played victim card again.
On the other hand, the PM will make a three-day visit to US on October 20. Different matters that will be discussed include economic growth and efforts to curb terror acts. Foreign Office (FO) former spokesperson Qazi Khaleelullah who now is the ambassador to Russia said in a weekly briefing that the visit is scheduled on US president Barack Obama’s invitation.
Owing to the agenda of the visit that involves economic growth, the PM will meet officials of US chamber of commerce and industry.
The two leaders will also engage in conversation to enhance bilateral ties in multiple sectors. Trade, education, health and climate change are among the several.
