Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar reiterated Pakistan's support for Syria's "sovereignty, unity, and territorial integrity" during talks with Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad Hassan al-Shaibani on Thursday. The Foreign Office said the remarks came after an Israeli attack on a Syrian airbase the previous day. Both parties reaffirmed their "longstanding brotherly ties" and discussed expanding bilateral cooperation and regional developments, including in Palestine, the Golan Heights, Afghanistan, South Asia, and the Middle East.
