Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar says Pakistan is increasingly being recognized as a peacemaking state worldwide.
During an interaction with US-based Pakistani media in Washington today, he emphasized that the global community views Pakistan with respect due to its collective efforts toward peace.
The Deputy Prime Minister said he had a cordial meeting with U.S Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who expressed deep appreciation for Pakistan’s contributions to regional peace and stability.
Terming his U.S visit highly successful, the Deputy Prime Minister said he held several important meetings with key international leaders.
Regarding the Palestine issue, Ishaq Dar said that he effectively highlighted Pakistan’s principled stance during his address at the United Nations.
He said Pakistan maintains a position on the Palestinian people’s legitimate rights, including the right to self-determination and the establishment of an independent, viable, and contiguous state of Palestine, based on pre-1967 borders with Al-Quds Al Sharif as its capital.
