KARACHI: The Foreign Office on Thursday clarified that SAPM Tariq Fatemi had undertaken a “private visit to Washington DC” and that his meetings were facilitated by the Pakistan embassy in Washington.

In a statement, the FO said that the spokesperson never stated that the “Foreign Office did not play any role in his (Fatemi’s) meeting with US officials”, adding that there was no question of ‘disavowing’ it.
