| 2007-11-12 |
| Foreign ministers will debate whether Pakistan should be suspended from the Commonwealth over President General Pervez Musharraf’s declaration of an emergency rule at an extraordinary meeting on Monday. Nations including Britain and Canada have called for tough action ahead of the Commonwealth Ministerial Action Group gathering and Secretary-General Don McKinnon described the state of emergency as a “step in the wrong direction”. Foreign ministers from Britain, Canada, Lesotho, Malaysia, Malta, Papua New Guinea, Saint Lucia, Sri Lanka and Tanzania will meet in London to discuss whether the state of emergency breaches Commonwealth principles. |
