ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif will leave for Qatar today to attend the emergency meeting of the Arab-Islamic Summit to be held in Doha.
The summit, convened in partnership with Pakistan, has been called in the context of Israeli air strikes on Doha, increasing tensions in Palestine and the forced displacement of Palestinians. Heads of state, government and high-ranking officials of OIC member countries are expected to attend the summit. Pakistan attaches great importance to its relations with Qatar and strongly condemns Israeli aggression against Qatar and other regional states. Earlier, in the interest of solidarity and regional unity, the Prime Minister had visited Doha on September 11, 2025, where he met with the Qatari leadership to express Pakistan’s unwavering support for Qatar’s security and sovereignty and for peace and stability in the Middle East.
