"The genocide in Gaza must end; civilians are being indiscriminately killed, including at food points, hospitals, and refugee shelters. This humanitarian situation needs urgent international attention," Foreign Office spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch said at her weekly news briefing.
Expressing deep concerns about the latest developments in Syria, she said that the ongoing situation would further destabilise the region and embolden terrorist organizations. She emphasised the promotion of peace and security in Syria and called for international efforts to de-escalate the situation and uphold the unity, sovereignty, and territorial integrity of Syria.
Apprising the media of diplomatic engagements during the last week, she mentioned Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif's two-day visit to Saudi Arabia on December 3-4 to participate in the One Water Summit where he underscored the need for strong political will and global leadership to overcome the water crisis, which posed an existential threat to nations around the globe. He also proposed a six-point global agenda to address water-related challenges.
