Pakistan Missions Asked to Observe Three-Day Mourning

In the wake of the horrendous terrorist attack in Peshawar, and the resultant loss of innocent lives, all Pakistan Missions abroad have been instructed to observe a three-day mourning period. The national flag at the Embassies/High Commissions would be flown at half-mast and all scheduled festive events shall be cancelled. Condolence books would be opened for signatures during the period by Pakistan Missions all over the world.

A Condolence book has also been opened in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, for Resident Diplomatic Missions in Islamabad.

To express their solidarity, officers of the Foreign Service of Pakistan are donating blood for the children wounded in the terrorist attack.
