This statement comes after the meeting that took place between the Pakistan Foreign Minister and MQM-P leaders in Islamabad, Pakistani channel ARY News reported. Qureshi came to the meeting along with Asad Umar and Pervaiz Khattak. In the meeting, Qureshi conveyed the important message of Pakistan Prime Minister Imran khan to MQM-P leaders.

The meeting with the MQM-P delegation was held in a good environment and it was a positive and fruitful meeting," Qureshi was quoted as saying by ARY News.
