Doha: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has arrived in Qatar on a day-long official visit to attend the Emergency Arab-Islamic Summit being held in Doha today.

According to Radio Pakistan, at the Doha airport, Qatar’s Minister of Culture Sheikh Abdulrahman bin Hamad bin Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani welcomed the Prime Minister and the Pakistani delegation. The Summit has been convened in response to Israel’s airstrikes on Doha and the worsening human rights situation in Palestine.

Deputy Prime Minister Mohammad Ishaq Dar, Minister for Defence Khawaja Asif, Minister for Information and Broadcasting Attaullah Tarar, and Special Assistant Tariq Fatemi are part of the high-level delegation accompanying the Prime Minister. Pakistan places significant importance on its relations with Qatar and has strongly condemned Israeli aggression against Qatar and other regional states.

In a demonstration of solidarity and regional unity, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif visited Doha last Thursday to meet with Qatari leadership. During the visit, he reaffirmed Pakistan’s unwavering support for Qatar’s security and sovereignty and its commitment to peace and stability in the Middle East.

The participation of the Prime Minister of Pakistan and other Muslim leaders in the emergency summit, being held in Doha today, highlights the resolve to strengthen unity within the Muslim Ummah and establish regional peace.
