NEW YORK: The Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi hosted a working dinner of the Foreign Ministers of the OIC Countries at Pakistan Mission in New York to discuss the worsening situation in the Occupied Palestinian Territory and to help formulate a unified and unequivocal response from the OIC Member States ahead of tomorrows’ United Nations General Assembly special meeting on the situation in Palestine.

The working dinner was attended by the Foreign Ministers including His Excellency Mr. Mevlüt Çavu?o?lu, Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Turkey; His Excellency Mr. Riad Al-Malki, Minister for Foreign Affairs of the State of Palestine; His Excellency Monsieur Othman Jerandi, Minister des Affaires étrangères de la République Tunisia.

The President of the United Nations General Assembly H.E Mr. Volkan Bozkir was also present at the occasion.

Speaking on the occasion, the Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi said that the entire Muslim Ummah is outraged over Israel’s use of indiscriminate and disproportionate force against innocent Palestinians, resulting in the loss of numerous innocent lives, including women and children.

The foreign minister reiterated Pakistan’s strongest possible condemnation of Israel’s deliberate and systematic assault against Palestinian worshippers in the Al-Aqsa Mosque during the month of Ramazan; violation of the sanctity of the holy sites; its policy of expansion of illegal settlements; as well as forced eviction of Palestinians, and demolition of their homes with impunity.

Qureshi expressed his deep gratitude to all brotherly OIC countries, who along with Pakistan, played a proactive role in convening the special meeting of the UN General Assembly.

Shah Mahmood Qureshi expressed the hope that special meeting of the United Nations General Assembly will help send a strong message on behalf of the OIC to the international community to help end the Israeli aggression and to take concrete steps to find a solution to the Palestinian issue.

The foreign minister’s visit to New York is part of Pakistan’s intensive diplomatic outreach efforts to mobilize international support to end the ongoing Israeli aggression against the Palestinians.

Shah Mahmood Qureshi will address the special session of the UN General Assembly tomorrow, which has been convened as a result of combined efforts of Pakistan and other OIC Countries to discuss the Israeli aggression against the Palestinians.

Also were present, Permanent Representative of Pakistan at the United Nations Ambassador Munir Akram, and Ambassador of Pakistan at Washington D.C Mr. Asad Majeed Khan.
