ISLAMABAD – Deputy Prime Minister Senator Ishaq Dar is set to visit Saudi Arabia to attend the Extraordinary Session of Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) Council of Foreign Ministers in Jeddah.
Foreign Ministers and senior officials from OIC member countries are flocking to the Kingdom to discuss collective actions in response to the deteriorating situation in Palestine. The ongoing Israeli aggression, violations of Palestinian rights, and efforts to displace the Palestinian population have escalated the crisis, prompting this urgent meeting.
As key advocate for Palestinian cause, Islamabad has consistently raised concerns on various international platforms. During the upcoming OIC-CFM session, Deputy Senator Dar will reaffirm Pakistan’s unwavering support for Palestine and its principled stance. He will call for Israel’s complete withdrawal from all occupied territories, including Jerusalem, and strongly oppose any proposal for further displacing Palestinians.
Senator Dar is also expected to advocate for the restoration of the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people, particularly their right to return to their homeland, and the establishment of a sovereign Palestinian state based on the pre-1967 borders with Al-Quds Al-Sharif as its capital.
Besides OIC session, Foreign Minister Dar is set to hold bilateral discussions with key counterparts from OIC member states to strengthen cooperation on this critical issue.
