Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has reiterated Pakistan’s support for the global pledge of an independent state of Palestine and expressed solidarity for the brave Palestinian people.
In his message on Al Quds Day observed annually on the last Friday of Ramazan, Shehbaz said that the designation of the day by Iran in 1979 was aimed at expressing the Ummah’s support for the Palestinian people in their struggle for rights.
“Every year, on this day, Muslims strongly condemn the oppression of the Zionist forces, barbaric attacks and aggression by a Zionist state. Pakistan also joins the voices for justice and condemns the oppression of the Palestinian people,” he said.

The prime minister urged the international community to ensure the implementation of the UN Security Council resolutions and agreements on the two-state solution.
He viewed that the enforcement of the UN Security Council resolutions against the illegal occupation of Jammu and Kashmir and Palestine by India and Israel, respectively, could bring about a durable peace in the region.
