Qureshi criticises Saudi Arab 

Couple of days ago, Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi asked Saudi Arabia-led Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) to stop dilly-dallying on the convening of a meeting of its Council of Foreign Ministers (CFM) on Kashmir.

Appearing in a talk show, the foreign minister said: “I am once again respectfully telling OIC that a meeting of the Council of Foreign Ministers is our expectation. If you cannot convene it, then I’ll be compelled to ask Prime Minister Imran Khan to call a meeting of the Islamic countries that are ready to stand with us on the issue of Kashmir and support the oppressed Kashmiris.”

On Friday, Shah Mahmood Qureshi cast aside the idea that there is any ill will between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, however noting that he had been persuading the oil-producing country's officials to call a meeting of the Organisation of Islamic Countries (OIC) over the Kashmir issue for a year.
