In view of the changing regional situation, Pakistan's Information Minister Pervaiz Rashid has said that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has summoned all Pakistani diplomats stationed abroad to Islamabad, after Eidul Fitr.

Rashid, speaking to the standing committee of the Council of Pakistan Newspaper Editors (CPNE), said the diplomats would be briefed in detail and given instruction in light of the changing scenario in the country.

Stating that Islamabad expects its neighbours not allow its enemies the use of their land against it, he called for cooperation between nations.

"Pakistan and Afghanistan should address each other's complaints," the Express Tribune quoted him as saying.

He added that peace between neighbours is necessary for economic prosperity.
