Prime Minister (PM) Shehbaz Sharif on Tuesday said that Pakistan is committed to further strengthening its brotherly relations with Iran through maintaining regular high-level exchanges and enhancing mutually advantageous cooperation across all spheres of shared interest.
The prime minister passed these remarks in a meeting with Foreign Minister of Iran Seyyed Abbas Araghchi, who called on him in Islamabad. PM Shehbaz also reiterated Pakistan’s unequivocal support to the Palestinian people in their just struggle for self-determination and statehood, said a press release issued by the PM Office.
He strongly condemned and expressed grave concern over Israel’s ongoing genocidal campaign against the Palestinian people. PM Shehbaz also emphasised the need for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, provision of unhindered humanitarian assistance and, above all, grant of the inalienable right to self-determination to the Palestinian people, as guaranteed to them by the relevant resolutions of the UN, as well as OIC.
