Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Mohammad Ishaq Dar spoke with Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan on Thursday, discussing bilateral relations and regional developments of mutual importance. The two ministers reaffirmed their support for the Palestinian cause and a joint statement from eight Arab and Islamic nations regarding the UK's ban on imports from illegal Israeli settlements and services linked to them.
Additionally, they expressed backing for a UK and European countries' statement advocating for a two-state solution.
Pakistan welcomed the UK's decision to ban items from illegal Israeli settlements in the West Bank, which the Foreign Office deemed a violation of international law and UN resolutions. The ban aligns with the stance of multiple countries, including Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Iceland, Ireland, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Spain, and Sweden, who are also considering similar actions against illegal settlements.
The conversation between Dar and Fidan highlighted the significance of maintaining close consultations on regional issues, such as through the R4 framework comprising Pakistan, Türkiye, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt. They also agreed to meet at the upcoming United Nations General Assembly session in New York.
