PAGD spokesman Mohammad Yusuf Tarigami had earlier said, “The invitations have been extended to all the leaders of PAGD and everybody is likely to attend this meeting in which the alliance leaders will make a decision about the strategy.”
The Prime Minister is expected to seek cooperation for the delimitation process so that political processes can begin in the region.
