ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan and Turkish foreign ministers discussed the latest developments in Pakistan, the Turkish Foreign Ministry said on Sunday.
Shah Mahmood Qureshi and Mevlut Cavusoglu talked over the phone ahead of a scheduled voting on a no-confidence motion against Pakistan’s prime minister.
The deputy speaker of parliament on Sunday, however, “rejected” the motion, terming it “unconstitutional.”
Following the deputy speaker’s ruling, Prime Minister Imran Khan said he has sent an advice to the president to dissolve the country’s parliament and to call fresh elections.
The combined opposition, led by the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), had submitted the no-confidence motion against Khan on March 8, contending that the prime minister has lost the trust of the majority of lawmakers.
