A delegation from the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs of Pakistan Senate paid a courtesy call on President Mahinda Rajapaksa at the Presidential Secretariat, Colombo this morning (14). Senator Mushaid Hussain Sayed (Chairman) and 10 others constituted the delegation.

They also commended the stand taken by the Sri Lankan President in opposing the move to expel Pakistan from the Commonwealth at its recent Summit in Uganda last year. The Chairman of the delegation also said that Asian countries should work together to counter the wrong interpretation of human rights developments in the region.
