Dhaka: Bangladesh Foreign minister AK Abdul Momen has said he will not be visiting Pakistan to attend the 48th session of the Council of Foreign Ministers (CFM) of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) scheduled to be held on Mar 22-23.

Islamabad is scheduled to host the event.

Bangladesh Foreign Secretary Masud Bin Momen revealed this development to Prothom Alo and said that he will lead the Bangladeshi delegation instead of the minister.

He told the newspaper that Pakistani foreign minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi invited his Bangladeshi counterpart to join the OIC meeting.

The Bangladeshi foreign minister Momen fell ill upon his return from Turkey recently and decided to take rest as per the advice of physicians.

The minister-level meetings between the two countries are virtually stopped due to strained bilateral relations, reports Prothom Alo.
