He will reaffirm Pakistan’s firm support for the Palestinian cause, stressing the urgent need for lasting peace in the Middle East and immediate humanitarian assistance for Gaza. He is expected to call for unified action by the Muslim world to address the escalating humanitarian crisis.
Senator Dar will also spotlight the growing threat of Islamophobia, urging the international community to take concrete measures to combat religious intolerance. He will highlight the importance of addressing rising extremism, terrorism, and climate change as pressing global challenges.
He will reiterate Pakistan’s commitment to the OIC’s objectives and principles, and its dedication to finding collective solutions to issues facing the Muslim Ummah.
On the sidelines of the conference, Senator Dar will engage in bilateral meetings with foreign ministers of other OIC member states to strengthen diplomatic ties and promote mutual cooperation.
Before the CFM officially begins, the Deputy Prime Minister will attend the OIC Youth Forum Grand Youth Award ceremony, where President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan of Türkiye will be honored for his leadership and contributions to the Muslim youth and the broader Islamic world.
