PM to represent Pakistan at OIC Summit in Riyadh today

ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Anwaar-ul-Haq Kakar will represent Pakistan at the Extraordinary Summit of Organization of Islamic Cooperation in Saudi capital Riyadh today.

This Extraordinary Summit has been convened at the request of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the current Chair of the Islamic Summit, in response to the serious developments facing the cause of Palestine and Al-Quds Al-Sharif.

It aims to come out with a joint Islamic position and action in the face of the brutal and ongoing Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people, and the deteriorating humanitarian situation as a result of the war crimes and brutal massacres committed by the Israeli occupation against the Palestinian people.

A month into the war, Israel has killed more than 11,000 Palestinians in a fierce offensive in the Gaza Strip, forcing thousands of refugees out of their homes, while the global powers fail to put to an end the ongoing aggression.
