Government Holds In-Camera Regional Security Briefing
An in-camera briefing is being held at the Prime Minister’s House in Islamabad to apprise political parties and members of parliament about the evolving regional security situation. The meeting follows recent border tensions between Pakistan and Afghanistan and the ongoing conflict involving the United States, Israel, and Iran.
According to sources, the closed-door session formally began with participation from multiple parliamentary leaders and representatives of political parties. The briefing aims to provide a comprehensive overview of diplomatic and security developments affecting the region.
PTI Boycotts Prime Minister’s Meeting
Sources confirmed that no member of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) is attending the in-camera session. The party had decided a day earlier that it would not participate in any government meetings until its leadership is allowed to meet former Prime Minister Imran Khan.
The absence of PTI representatives was noted as other major political stakeholders joined the briefing to receive updates on foreign policy and national security matters.
PPP and Other Parties Attend Briefing
Representatives from the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (F) (JUI-F), Muttahida Qaumi Movement – Pakistan (MQM-P), and Balochistan Awami Party (BAP) are participating in the session, according to sources familiar with the proceedings.
The presence of these parties reflects a broader political engagement on matters concerning regional stability and national security.
Foreign Office and Security Officials Provide Updates
Sources indicated that officials from the Foreign Office are scheduled to provide a detailed briefing on the external situation, including diplomatic developments linked to the Iran-Israel conflict and its implications for the region.
Security officials are also expected to brief participants on the Iran-Israel confrontation and the security environment along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border. The updates are intended to inform parliamentary leadership about strategic challenges and preparedness measures.
