Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi left on Tuesday for the United Kingdom on an official two-day visit.

Addressing the media before his departure, the foreign minister said that he has been invited by British Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt to attend a meeting of the Commonwealth in the UK. The minister further said that 54 countries are the members of the Commonwealth.

"Pakistan is playing its role in the Commonwealth and will continue to play it," Qureshi maintained.
