Ishaq Dar declines invitation to attend CFAMM meeting

Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar has declined an invitation to participate in the upcoming meeting of the Contact Group on Friends of Afghanistan and Member States (CFAMM), familiar with the matter.

Reports indicate that Dar was invited to attend the CFAMM meeting, but he has chosen not to participate. The reasons for his decision were not specified in the available reports. Sources did not provide further details regarding the circumstances or any official statement from Dar or the Foreign Office on the matter.

The CFAMM is known for bringing together member states to discuss issues related to Afghanistan. However, with Dar opting not to attend, Pakistan will not be represented by its deputy prime minister and foreign minister at the upcoming session. It remains unclear whether another official will attend in his place, as no further information has been provided by sources.

Officials have not commented publicly on the decision, and there has been no official explanation released regarding the declined invitation. The invitation was extended recently, but no additional context or background has been offered by the sources regarding the meeting's agenda or its significance.

At this time, there are no indications of any changes to Pakistan's broader participation in CFAMM activities, and it is not known whether Dar's decision will affect future engagements. Further updates are expected if more information becomes available from official channels.
