\u201cPakistan will remain engaged with international efforts for peace and security in Gaza,\u201d says FO
\n ISLAMABAD
\nThe Ministry of Foreign Affairs has confirmed that the Prime Minister of Pakistan has received an official invitation from the President of the United States to join the newly constituted Board of Peace on Gaza. The announcement was made by the Spokesperson of the Ministry, Mr. Tahir Andrabi, during a press briefing in Islamabad on Sunday. Responding to media queries, Mr. Andrabi stated that Pakistan will remain actively engaged with international efforts aimed at ensuring peace and security in Gaza.
\nHe emphasized that Islamabad\u2019s position on the Palestine issue has been consistent and principled, rooted in the framework of United Nations resolutions and the right of the Palestinian people to self\u2011determination. \u201cPakistan will continue to support initiatives that lead to a lasting solution to the Palestine question,\u201d the Spokesperson remarked. The invitation from Washington comes at a critical juncture, as the humanitarian situation in Gaza remains dire following years of conflict, blockade, and repeated escalations.
\nThe Board of Peace on Gaza is expected to bring together key international stakeholders to coordinate diplomatic, humanitarian, and reconstruction efforts. Pakistan\u2019s inclusion reflects recognition of its longstanding advocacy for Palestinian rights at global forums, including the UN General Assembly, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), and the Non\u2011Aligned Movement.
\nHistorically, Pakistan has maintained unwavering support for the Palestinian cause. Successive governments have called for the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with pre\u20111967 borders and Al\u2011Quds Al\u2011Sharif as its capital. Pakistan has also consistently condemned Israeli military actions in Gaza and voiced concern over civilian casualties. In recent years, Islamabad has participated in humanitarian relief campaigns and diplomatic initiatives aimed at de\u2011escalation.
\nMr. Andrabi underscored that Pakistan\u2019s engagement with the Board of Peace will be guided by its commitment to multilateralism and international law. He noted that the government views this development as an opportunity to contribute meaningfully to regional stability and to amplify the voices of those suffering in Gaza. \u201cOur participation will be constructive, principled, and aligned with the aspirations of the Palestinian people,\u201d he added.
\nThe spokesperson concluded by reiterating Pakistan\u2019s call for the international community to intensify efforts toward a comprehensive and just settlement of the Palestine issue. He stressed that peace in Gaza is not only essential for the Middle East but also for global security and stability. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
