On the sidelines of COP28, Interim Prime Minister Anwaarul Haq Kakar stated that Pakistan has been in the forefront of advocating for a ceasefire in order to put a stop to the “senseless violence which was perpetrated in very disproportionate manner by the government of Israel”.

“When we say immediately stop, not a single bullet could be afforded by anyone here in the region and beyond,” he said.

He said that if the violence did not cease then it can engulf the region “maybe Egypt, Syria, Jordan and probably there would not be any limit to that”.

“The creation of humanitarian corridor is the second most important thing and there are diversified views and Pakistan does understand that,” he said.
