Ambassadors and high commissioners from Africa, Arab countries, Asia, Europe, North and Latin American countries were briefed by the Pakistani officials.

Pakistan also briefed the foreign envoys about the steps taken by the authorities to address the concerns of the international community in the wake of the Mumbai attacks.
