APC put on the back burner due to PM Shehbaz’s visit to quake-hit Turkiye
ISLAMABAD (MNP) – The All Parties Conference (APC), earlier scheduled to be held on Feb 9 to discuss ways to overcome the current national challenges, has once again been postponed due to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s visit to Turkiye for condolence over devastating earthquake.
Federal Information Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb announced the development on Twitter, stating that a new date for the mega political gathering would be announced after consultation with allies. She said the premier would leave for Ankara on Wednesday morning and he would condole with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan over the loss of lives in the powerful earthquake.
The confirmed death toll across the two countries (the other being Syria) has soared above 4,000 after a swarm of strong tremors near the Turkey-Syria border – the largest of which measured at a massive 7.8-magnitude.
