PPP, PML-N talks make little headway
Coalition partners reopen dialogue after 18-month hiatus
A PML-N delegation, headed by Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar, convened talks with provincial leaders of the PPP, its coalition partner, in Lahore. The gathering aimed to mend relations between the two parties, but resulted in little progress. The PPP was uninterested in hearing about the PML-N's promises and demanded immediate implementation of their "due share" formula.
The PML-N, however, claimed the meeting was positive and relations were on track. The PPP delegation presented the party's broader concerns and urged the PML-N to focus on addressing them. Both sides agreed to improve coordination and communication, while reviewing political coordination and mutual cooperation.
