He further said, Pakistan will not be part of any camp in the US-Iran tension.
Briefing the National Assembly Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs with Ehsanullah Tiwana in the chair on Tuesday, he said that the effect of joining any camp would be on Pakistan.

However, it is going to deport over 70 illegal Pakistanis. Pakistan has asked the United States to fulfill legal requirements about the Pakistanis being deported,” he said.
Shah Mehmood Qureshi said that Pakistan is facilitating intra-Afghan dialogue.
The minister said that Pakistan and China were reviewing the matter of human smuggling and an effective policy would be framed in this regard. “Some forces want to affect Pakistan-China relations,” he concluded.
