ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Federal Law Minister Farogh Naseem has dubbed British Virgin Island Court’s judgment in Reko Diq case a big victory of Pakistan’s stance.

The Law Minister said legal teams were constituted to effectively and forcefully present Pakistan’s stance in those cases. He said those timely steps have now started showing results.
Farogh Naseem expressed the commitment to continue to defend Pakistan’s stance in different cases at different international forums.
