Shah Mehmood Qureshi, the Foreign Minister of Pakistan said, all the pros and cons of the visit to Moscow were understood beforehand and the conclusion was made that Pakistan needs to expand its diplomatic space. However, it was quite difficult for Pakistan to oversee the backdrop of possible implications from the western side.
