Islamabad: On behalf of Palestinian people and the Government of the State of Palestine, the Embassy of the State of Palestine, Saturday extended sincere thanks to Government and people of Pakistan for their continuous support to Palestine cause.

The embassy especially thanked Imran Khan, Prime Minister of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan on his recent address to UN General Assembly, where he said, “Palestine remains a ‘festering wound’.

A just and lasting settlement is indispensable, for the Middle East and the World. Illegal annexations of Palestinian territory, the building of illegal settlements and the imposition of inhuman living conditions on the Palestinian people especially in Gaza cannot bring peace to a troubled region. Pakistan continues to support a two-state solution — in line with UN General Assembly and Security Council resolutions, within the internationally agreed parameters, pre-1967 borders, and Al-Quds Al-Sharif as the capital of a united, contiguous and independent Palestinian State”.

The Embassy thanked Prime Minister of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan for such a strong rhetoric on highest forum of United Nations.
