ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Lawmakers have expressed unhappiness over Indian External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj being invited by the United Arab Emirates (UAE) at the 26th Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) States meet which is set to take place in Abu Dhabi on March 1 and 2.
Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi today (Tuesday) telephoned his Emirati counterpart and demanded to withdraw the decision.
