ISLAMABAD- Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif will travel to Qatar on 15 September to attend the Emergency Arab-Islamic Summit in Doha.
The gathering, convened with Pakistan’s support, comes amid escalating tensions following Israeli airstrikes and intensifying hostilities in Palestine.
The summit has been called in response to Israel’s continued aggression, including attempts to expand settlements in the occupied West Bank and the forced displacement of Palestinian families. Leaders and senior officials from the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) member states are set to attend the high-level meeting.
According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, a preparatory meeting of Foreign Ministers will be held on 14 September ahead of the leaders’ summit. Pakistan will be represented by Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Senator Mohammad Ishaq Dar, who will participate in the deliberations to finalise the agenda and recommendations for heads of state.
