Parliamentary resolution calls for neutrality in Middle Eastern conflicts: SVI president

The Strategic Vision Institute (SVI) president, Dr Zafar Iqbal Cheema said that an announcement with regard to deployment of Pakistani troops to Saudi Arabia should have been made by the political government instead of the military’s media wing.

He also recalled the parliamentary resolution about maintaining neutrality in Middle Eastern conflicts and said the recent decision to send troops to Saudi Arabia highlighted the challenges Pakistan was facing in walking the tightrope in relations with the two countries namely Iran and Saudi Arabia.
He was speaking at a seminar at the Strategic Vision Institute (SVI) on “Contemporary Relations between Pakistan, Iran and Saudi Arabia: Present Challenges.”
