New Delhi, March 21 -- The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) on Friday stated that invitations depend on the state of relations between the two countries regarding whether any Indian government officials were invited to the Iftar dinner hosted by the Pakistan High Commission to mark Pakistan's National Day.

Speaking at the weekly briefing, MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said, "As for invitations, Nimantran toh rishton pe nirbhar karta hai (they depend on the relationship between the countries). Accepting an invitation also depends on the relationship."
