Pakistan will also emphasize the complete withdrawal of Israeli forces from the occupied Palestinian territories, especially Gaza, and the provision of unhindered humanitarian assistance to the Palestinian people, as well as the reconstruction of Gaza.
The Foreign Office said that Pakistan will also emphasize the need for joint efforts for the establishment of an independent, viable, and geographically contiguous Palestinian state, with Jerusalem as its capital, and in accordance with the pre-1967 borders, as clarified in UN resolutions and the Arab Peace Plan.
Pakistan will reiterate its commitment that it has been a participant in the past and will continue to play a consistent role in the struggle for the restoration of peace, justice, and a dignified life for the Palestinian people and for their right to self-determination.
The Foreign Office spokesperson said that the capital of the Palestinian state should be Al-Quds Al-Sharif. Pakistan is committed to the right of self-determination of the Palestinian people and the restoration of their dignity and justice.
