ISLAMABAD: The meeting of the 19th SAARC (SAARC) summit to be held in Pakistan has been postponed for the time being in the absence of consensus in view of the ever increasing crisis of the global pandemic coronavirus and the current situation. During the virtual meeting of the SAARC cabinet on Thursday during the pandemic period, the summit was included in the agenda regarding the event. According to sources, most countries feel that this is not the appropriate time for the summit.
