Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar on Thursday reaffirmed Pakistan’s support for Syria’s “sovereignty, unity, and territorial integrity,” the Foreign Office (FO) said.
DPM Dar made the remarks during delegation-level talks with Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad Hassan al-Shaibani, who arrived in Islamabad early on Thursday on an official visit on Dar’s invitation.
FO said that during delegation-level talks, DPM Dar reaffirmed Pakistan’s support for Syria’s sovereignty. The remarks came after an Israeli attack on an airbase in Syria a day prior.
During the talks, the two sides reaffirmed “longstanding brotherly ties”, expanding bilateral cooperation and exchanged views on “regional and international developments, including Palestine, the Golan Heights, Afghanistan, the situation in South Asia, and developments in the Middle East,” FO said.
