Pak Deputy PM defers Dhaka visit

Pakistan’s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar has postponed his planned Dhaka visit next week amid escalation of tensions between his country and India following the terrorist attack in Kashmir.

“Owing to unforeseen circumstances, the Honourable Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs of Pakistan is unable to undertake the visit to Bangladesh on April 27-28, 2025,” the Pakistan High Commission said in a statement quoting the country’s Foreign Ministry.

It said a new date for the visit would be finalised through mutual consultations.
