Spokesperson of the Foreign Office, Mumtaz Zahra Baloch, while reacting to the handshake of Indian counterpart Jaishankar with Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto, said that the handshake with Bilawal Bhutto was a normal formality.
Speaking exclusively to GeoNews in Goa, the spokesperson of the Foreign Office said that a host welcomed a guest like the rest of the foreign ministers.
He added that the Indian hosts have not given us any chance to complain so far, everything is fine so far.
Foreign Office spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra said that it is premature to say that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif will attend the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit in India in July.
It should be remembered that on the occasion of the dinner given by the Indian Foreign Minister in honor of the Council of Foreign Ministers, the foreign ministers of Pakistan and India shook hands.
