The Prime Minister of Pakistan, along with the leaders of seven Arab-Islamic countries (Egypt, Jordan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Indonesia, and Türkiye), attended a summit-level meeting with the President of the United States on 23 September 2025 to explore avenues for achieving peace in Gaza”, the press release said.

According to MOFA, “the Prime Minister’s participation in the Summit reflects Pakistan’s historic, consistent, and unwavering support for the just cause of the Palestinian people for their right to self-determination as well as for achieving lasting peace and stability in the region.
