Pakistan skips crucial talks with India to tackle locust attacks

Pakistan did not attend the crucial meeting with India to tackle the recent locust attacks that caused a huge damage to crops in both the countries. The Pakistan foreign office had earlier stated that Pakistan and India are cooperating with each other to address the locust issue under a forum administered by the FAO. Both countries are members of FAO’s Commission for Controlling the Desert Locust in South West Asia (SWAC).
