ISLAMABAD: The Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Friday briefed the Caretaker Federal Cabinet about the situation arising from the Iranian attack on Pakistan on January 16.
The details of the attack, as well as Pakistan’s response, were shared in the meeting of the Federal Cabinet held under the chairmanship of Caretaker Prime Minister Anwaar-ul-Haq Kakar.
The cabinet lauded the high professionalism with which the Pakistan Armed Forces responded to the breach of Pakistan’s sovereignty and how the entire government machinery worked in unison in that regard.
Addressing the cabinet, the prime minister affirmed that Pakistan was a law abiding and peace loving country, and it sought friendly and cooperative relations with all countries, particularly its neighbours.
