There were reportedly hectic parleys before consensus within the victorious side, the PPP, could be reached on the name of the new Prime Minister. Former Prime Minster Barrister Sultan Mehmood’s candidature for the prime ministerial office was almost finalized, as is indicated in one of the reports included in the issue, that he would take oath as the next prime minister of the so called AJK. The report has been accommodated precisely to bring out the extent of uncertainty regarding the issue.

The committee in the meetings discussed and examined issues relating to roles, functions and responsibilities of Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The sole purpose of the Foreign Affairs Committee is to serve the best interests of the country. The prestigious committee always prefers to focus on matters that are pertinent to the interest of the nation. Pakistan is situated in an extremely volatile region of the world. It is in our best interest to manage cooperative relations not only with our neighbours but also with other states on the basis of equality and self-respect. It is also made sure that core interests of the country were never compromised at any cost and should remain top priority of the institutions responsible. Pakistan being a responsible Nuclear Power and member of the international society makes sure that the foreign policy is enshrined on the principles that were laid by the founding father of the country. The country is riding a tide of troubles therefore the need of the hour is that the foreign policy and the domestic policy should be coherent and consistent to cope with the challenges.

For the first time, there was a dialogue between the Parliaments of Afghanistan and Pakistan devoted to security and military matters with the two counterpart Committees of both Upper Houses engaged in candid discussions. During both visits, Afghanistan and Azerbaijan, with six political parties represented, both from the government and the opposition, there was a tremendous degree of cohesion and camaraderie among the Parliamentarians as they promoted the perspective of Pakistan above any partisanship.
