ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan Tuesday said the Foreign Office (FO) was doing great job, especially in highlighting the Kashmir issue at different forum across the world.
A few days back, he had lambasted the country’s top diplomats for failing to serve the Pakistani diaspora in their respective countries of residence. However, he had to face severe reaction from the opposition leaders as well as the foreign service personnel.
