He said since no sanctions have been imposed on Qatar by the United Nations, Pakistan and Qatar were bound to abide by the agreement.
Qatar has released an initial report into the alleged hack of its state-run news agency, an incident which helped spark a diplomatic crisis between the energy-rich country and Arab nations.

SINGAPORE — Refusing to accept a ticket over a parking offence, a man offered a $10 bribe to a parking warden as he wanted to be let off the hook. Vikneswaran Kumaran, who was working for Certis Cisco Protection Services at the time, rejected Guo Chuankui's offer and alerted the police. Guo, a 46-year-old Chinese national, pleaded guilty to a graft charge and was sentenced to three weeks' jail on Oct 4. Deputy Public Prosecutor Lee Da Zhuan, who did not disclose details about the location, said Guo was working as a driver on April 4, 2023, when he illegally parked his company's vehicle on a road with double yellow lines near a construction site before walking away. Vikneswaran, who arrived at the scene on a motorcycle, saw the vehicle and printed out a parking ticket notice. Guo returned soon after and saw him trying to place the ticket on the vehicle. The DPP said: «When the two met, the accused pleaded with Viknes (Vikneswaran)... telling him not to give the ticket.»
