Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar is set to attend a crucial three-day visit to Saudi Arabia, where he will participate in an Open-Ended Extraordinary Ministerial Session of the OIC Executive Committee in Jeddah. The session’s agenda centers on critical decisions by Israeli authorities regarding settlements and their aspirations for annexation over occupied territories in the West Bank.
This diplomatic engagement comes at a pivotal moment in the region’s contentious disputes, with Dar sharing Pakistan’s perspective on Israel’s latest provocations aimed at legitimizing its occupation of Palestinian land. His participation is expected to underscore Islamabad’s steadfast commitment to peaceful resolutions to regional conflicts and support for international law.
The meeting will also provide an opportunity for Dar to conduct bilateral discussions with counterparts from OIC member states, facilitating collaboration among like-minded nations in addressing the West Bank issue.
Dar’s visit highlights Pakistan’s proactive role in advocating for peace and justice within the Islamic Conference Organization. His efforts are aimed at pressuring Israel into compliance with United Nations resolutions and international norms regarding occupation and settlements.
