The All Parties Conference, called by the government to discuss important security and economic challenges being faced by Pakistan, has been postponed for the second time this week.
The multi-party moot was first slated for Feb 7. However, in a tweet Monday, Information Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb had rescheduled the conference to Feb 9, Thursday. She did not mention why the meeting was moved. In yet another tweet Tuesday, she said that the meeting has been once again postponed as Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif will be travelling to Turkey on Wednesday.
In a tweet, Aurangzeb said that the premier will meet Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and express condolences for the lives lost in the earthquake.
“Due to the prime minister’s visit to Turkey, the APC convened on Thursday February 9 is being postponed, a new date will be announced in consultation with the allies,” she added.
