PM Imran Khan turns down French President's call during media briefing meeting

Is this the way to pm talks without any prior appointment or timing ? However attending another PM's calls should prioritised over meeting with journalists.


Would an american, British, or even French President done the same???. I doubt that they would put the lowly Pakistani prime minister ahead of a local engagement...

Having scheduling conflicts is very common. I work in corporate world and sometimes have to decide which sceduled meeting I am going to decline. It's normal.

Hi,

The arrogance of IK will get pakistan down----. This was an extremely tactical call---.

Majority of european union is happy that at least there is an honest PM in pakistan---. They will go out of their way to assist pakistan in many a different ways if they are approached in a proper manner---.

France is still a world super power and pak military loves french weapons and electronics---.
Nothing to worry about phone meeting between two has happened. Respectfully, Sir you are drawing it too much. This call was between two representatives of different states. Not between two individuals.

I don't know if it was a deliberate, pre-planned but ......... Sahi kia Pakistani media ko aisay he ch**tiya bnana chaiay tha, all they needed was little attention and importance shown to them, well played, IK pre PM and post PM are two very different people, he is intelligent and insightful after all, it's not like he wouldn't have known about an already fixed French call. I hope this new lollipop takes off some unnecessary unwanted attention focused on Buzdar.

Looks like Mr Marc Barety didn’t brief Macron while having Macaroni...

How can a foreign head of the state just call in like that without prior notice and communication between foreign offices of both countries?
We don't have any hot line with France which is Direct link between heads of state. This story smells fishy. Either it as very unprofessional on behalf of the French to just call in without any schedule. Or just over dramatization by our media as usual. The later seems more likely.

No one from Geo channel? :d



BTW where is that asshole Hamid Mir in the picture? If he was even there than why did he posted that tweet by tagging official accounts of both the leaders ?

I think this is another fake news because I cannot find anything related to this news.

Sir Pakistan has already been down. We cannot be let down anymore than we already are at this time. So let us give the benefit of the doubt here.

Macron’s not respected in the EU states and majority of his people also adhere to the same sentiment. Why should our PM jump up and down for an arrogant & delusional statesman? Diplomatic relations are built on mutual understanding & respect.

Khan’s no stranger to diplomacy and he made the right call. It’s a 5 year term afterall.
Even khan needed votes of a party that he'd know have clear connections with violence to make a simple majority government, every country has its own problem, even relations with Arab countries not as warm as it was with previous, Turks and Chinese are showing their hesitation with this new government. Few are giving an argument that French opposed us in FATF here not to forget that even our closest allies prefered not to stand by our side despite of huge 70k sacrifices figure. It show that internal efforts will not potray our impact on international stage unless we don't work on our diplomatic ties. But here you are defending this immaturity of IK as only Macron have a problems with other regional countries. Their is a reason why permanent five are considered important on world stage.

As per my knowledge the Phone calls between Top brass of diff countries are always pre scheduled... if it was than not taking the call was not a good diplomacy...

Congratulatory calls usually not pre scheduled but staff first make contact and then handed over line to president.
