Ishaq Dar asks India to create environment for improving ties
ISLAMABAD: Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister of Pakistan Ishaq Dar on Thursday asked India to create an environment for improving ties between the countries.
According to Kashmir Media Service, Ishaq Dar addressing a press conference in Islamabad shed light on trade ties with India and said ‘It takes two to tango’ calling upon India to create an environment to help improve the relations.
He summarized the government’s initiatives to improve Pakistan’s diplomatic standing and promote economic stability through bilateral and multilateral interactions, the most recent of which was the start of the nation’s two-year term as a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council for the years 2025–2026.
The deputy prime minister highlighted Pakistan’s participation in the Nuclear Energy Summit, World Economic Forum in Saudi Arabia, OIC summit in Gambia, the visit of Saudi foreign minister, Iran’s president late Ebrahim Raisi and his foreign minister, and that during all interactions Pakistan effectively raised the Kashmir dispute and ongoing Israel’s genocide of Palestinian population. Pakistan’s consistent efforts at the OIC summit in Gambia led to the appointment of OIC envoy on Islamophobia.
He said Pakistan is among the very few countries that strongly advocated the implementation of UN resolutions on Palestine and ICJ ruling on the issue, besides condemning Israel’s barbarism against innocent people.
He said that besides hosting Palestinian medical students, Pakistan also dispatched relief aid to Gaza, Syria and Lebanon.
