The MoFA in the statement said its attention was drawn by media reports that the government had already initiated homework to recall a few ambassadors. “It is informed that there is no truth in the news,” said the MoFA.
The MoFA has all concerned media persons to verify their information from official sources before disseminating them to the public.
