Belly dancing in international investment forum by Pakistan draws ire

ISLAMABAD - In a shame, belly dancing in international investment forum held by Pakistan Sarhad Chamber of Commerce draws ire of Pakistanis.

Pakistan's Sarhad Chamber of Commerce or SCCI organised a Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Investment Opportunities Conference in Azerbaijan's capital Baku which had belly dancers among major attraction.

The SCCI, based in Peshawar, organised the conference from September 4-8 in Azerbaijan.

Pakistan's economy is facing the heat and for that Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan has been going to UAE, China and speaking to International Monetary Fund (IMF) for a bailout. Pakistan recently got a US $3 million loan from the UAE to support its economy.

IMF team will visit Pakistan in mid-September as part of Islamabad's technical work program.

Earlier this year, the IMF agreed on US $6bn bailout for Pakistan's economy for 3 years.
