Islamabad: Defence Minister Khawaja Asif has cancelled a planned trip to Tehran, apparently due to Iran’s tension with Saudi Arabia – a key ally of Pakistan. Asif was scheduled to travel to Tehran on a two-day visit from Monday for promoting defence ties between the two countries, Dawn reported. According to the paper, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif directed the cancellation of the trip.
Citing a defence ministry official, it said that the trip had been cancelled. But the official did not assign any reason for the decision. (PTI)
