ISLAMABAD: A federal cabinet meeting will be held today at 5pm under Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi to hold discussions on the revised US policy on the region and the political situation in the country.
Foreign Minister Khawaja Asif will also brief the meeting on the steps taken on thediplomatic level over the matter, sources told Geo News.
The prime minister has chaired several meetings of the federal cabinet and National Security Committee after the US president in his speech in August took a tough stance against Pakistan and blamed it for providing safe havens to terrorists.
Pakistan has strongly denied the accusations on various occasions and has reiterated its commitment to fight against terrorism.
Abbasi, in an interview to Reuters on Monday, said it would be counter-productive for the United States to sanction Pakistani officials or further cut military assistance, warning it would hurt both countries’ fight against militancy.
