Pakistan’s representation at OIC meeting undecided
ISLAMABAD, July 29: The government has yet to decide on who would represent Pakistan at the summit-level Emergency Meeting of the OIC Executive Committee on the Middle East crisis in Malaysia’s administrative capital Putrajaya next week.
The decision will be taken on the basis of the level of representation at the emergency meeting, it is learnt.
According to informed sources the president will attend the meeting if it brings together top-level OIC leaders.
However, Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz will represent Pakistan if the representation is mostly at the level of foreign ministers.
A final decision is expected in the next couple of days, sources said.
The one-day emergency meeting of the OIC Executive Committee has been convened by Malaysian Prime Minister Abdullah Badawi, the current chairman of the 57-member pan-Islamic body, on August 3.
The overriding objective is to devise a unified strategy to halt the Israeli aggression against Lebanon and Palestine.—QA
