ISLAMABAD : Leaders of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (Saarc), the regional forum long ignored by India because of its hostilities towards Pakistan, will interact through a video conference on Sunday (today) to discuss a common strategy against the novel coronavirus.
While other countries will be represented by their heads of governments, Pakistan has deputed State Minister for Health Dr Zafar Mirza to participate in the conference.
