ISLAMABAD: Pakistani deputy prime minister and foreign minister, Ishaq Dar, will call for full implementation of Israel-Hamas ceasefire in Gaza at a meeting of Arab-Islamic foreign ministers in Istanbul on Monday, the Pakistani foreign ministry said.
Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan this week said that the Istanbul meeting would discuss the US peace plan for Gaza and “what we can achieve together in the next stage.”
Ministers from Egypt, Indonesia, Jordan, Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the UAE, which met President Donald Trump on Sept. 23, have all been invited to the meeting.
On the invitation of the Turkish foreign minister, Dar will undertake a one-day visit to Istanbul on Monday to attend the coordination meeting of the Arab-Islamic FMs.
“Pakistan will emphasize the need for the full implementation of the ceasefire agreement, the complete Israeli withdrawal from the Occupied Palestinian Territory, especially Gaza, as well as the provision of unfettered humanitarian assistance to the Palestinians and the reconstruction of Gaza,” the Pakistani foreign ministry said.
