Islamabad to set up forum to boost image in Middle East

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan is setting up a Pakistan-Arab federation to strengthen Islamabad’s relations with Arab states, the Pakistani prime minister’s special adviser on religious harmony and the Middle East said on Sunday.

The establishment of the forum follows Prime Minister Imran Khan’s policy to improve Pakistan’s economic and strategic ties with all Arab countries. In October, the government founded a study center specialized in the Middle East at the Institute of Strategic Studies Islamabad.
