Pakistani Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif on Wednesday received a telephone call from Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim bin Jaber Al Thani, Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs of the State of Qatar.
They discussed the prevailing situation in South Asia.
During the conversation, the Prime Minister of Qatar said that his country wants to play role in de-escalating the current situation in the region.
While thanking Qatar for its solidarity and support Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif strongly condemned India’s missile strikes targeting six sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir, reports state-run APP news agency.
Shehbaz Sharif said India’s cowardly attack on Pakistan’s sovereignty resulted in the death of 26 people, men, women and children as well as destruction of few mosques. “This attack has imperiled peace and stability in the South Asia.”
The Pakistani Prime Minister said his country would resolutely defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity with full vigor and force. He said Pakistan has offered a neutral and independent international investigation to look into India’s allegations. “Pakistan would be happy if Qatar were to join this effort,” the Pakistani leader added.
