The PM said this in a meeting with Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar. Gilani’s meetings with other leaders of various countries, including engagements with investors, businessmen and international media organisations were also discussed.

She referred to the recommendations of the Envoy’s Conference and the Parliamentary Committee on National Security regarding formulation of new rules of engagements with the US and ISAF.
