ISLAMABAD (Dunya News/ Reuters) – Joint meeting of parliament will be held tomorrow to discuss the situation of Yemen and to formulate a foreign policy regarding the security of neighbor countries especially Saudi Arabia, Dunya News reported on Sunday.
According to details, the meeting will be held at 11:00am whereas Defence Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif will present a resolution in the joint session.
Senior politicians have hailed this step of Prime Minister (PM) Nawaz Sharif and have said that the Islamic world eye this session for a final decision.
The session has been convened on the advice of PM Nawaz in order to discuss the prevailing situation in war-hit Yemen.
The decision to hold a joint session was taken during a high-level consultative meeting headed by PM Nawaz in Islamabad on Thursday.
