Pakistan Foreign Office clarifies news about Army deployment in Qatar
Shares
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Foreign office has responded to the malicious campaign of foreign media regarding Pakistan Army contingent being deployed in Qatar.
Foreign Office Spokesperson in a statement issued on Sunday rejected reports appearing in some foreign press and media regarding deployment of Pakistani troops in Qatar. The FO termed these reports as completely fabricated and baseless.
He stressed that these false reports appear to be part of a malicious campaign aimed at creating misunderstanding between Pakistan and brotherly Muslim countries in the Gulf.
Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates have cut diplomatic ties with Qatar, accusing it of destabilising the region.
Following the major announcement, Pakistan also issued a statement through its Foreign Office that it has no immediate plans to cut diplomatic ties with Qatar.
The country “has no such plans,” the spokesman, Nafees Zakaria, said, following Monday’s surprise severing of ties with Qatar by Islamabad’s key ally, Saudi Arabia, and three other Middle East nations.
