ISLAMABAD: Pakistan today postponed the SAARC Summit to be held here next month after India along with four other member states of the regional grouping decided against attending the meet.
“Pakistan deplores India’s decision to impede the SAARC process by not attending the 19th SAARC Summit at Islamabad on 9-10 November 2016,” the Pakistan Foreign Office said in a statement.
It claimed that the spirit of the SAARC Charter is “violated” when a member state casts the shadow of its bilateral problems on the multilateral forum for regional cooperation.
Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif was looking forward to welcome the SAARC leaders for their participation in the summit. All preparations had been made for “successful” holding of the summit, the statement said. (AGENCIES)
