Dhaka, Islamabad foreign office consultation postponed

The annual foreign office consultation between Bangladesh and Pakistan scheduled for tomorrow has been postponed due to unknown reasons.

Diplomatic sources said Pakistan Foreign Secretary Aizaz Ahmad Chaudhry was scheduled to arrive in Dhaka this evening to attend the sixth round of Bangladesh-Pakistan foreign secretary level meeting with his Bangladesh counterpart Md Shahidul Haque.

“The meeting has been postponed at the request of Islamabad,” a diplomatic source told The Daily Star last night. The last FoC between the two countries was held in Islamabad in November 2010.
