Pakistan's Foreign Office has recommended Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to accept India's invitation to attend the swearing-in ceremony of prime minister-elect Narendra Modi on May 26 in New Delhi, saying it will be a "mistake' to let this opportunity go."
The Foreign Office has made the recommendation and the decision will most likely be in favour,' a senior diplomat at the Foreign Office (FO) said.
"It will be a mistake to let this opportunity go. We need to see beyond today," the official said while speaking to Dawn online.
The government is, however, yet to take a final decision on the invitation received on Wednesday.Modi has invited the leaders of member states of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation to the ceremony.
