He further revealed that, on the directives of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, relief goods are being dispatched for the people of Gaza.

He noted that several countries are expected to recognize Palestine as an independent state in the coming weeks, adding that the day is near when Muslim leaders will unite at Al-Aqsa Mosque in prayers of gratitude.
Both sides also agreed to strengthen cooperation through scholarly exchanges, interfaith dialogue, and joint initiatives for promoting peace and solidarity across the Muslim world.
