Pakistan's UNGA: Saudi Defence Deal Interest, Ahmed Release Efforts, Gaza Peace Plan Clarified
Pakistan's Minister for Planning and Development, Asad Umar, attended the UN General Assembly (UNGA) session, where he discussed various diplomatic matters. He revealed that several countries showed interest in Pakistan's Strategic Mutual Defence Agreement (SMDA) with Israel news. Umar also provided updates on efforts to secure the release of former Senator Mushtaq Ahmed from Israel and clarified Pakistan's stance on the Gaza peace plan proposed by US President Trump.
DPM Dar confirmed that Pakistan is actively working to secure the release of former Senator Mushtaq Ahmed, who has been detained in Israel news. He revealed that a third European country has been engaged to facilitate this process. This comes after Pakistan's earlier efforts to secure Ahmed's release through diplomatic channels.
During the UNGA session, Dar noted that other countries have expressed interest in Pakistan's SMDA with Israel news. This agreement, signed in April, aims to strengthen bilateral relations and cooperation between the two countries. The interest from other nations suggests a potential expansion of similar agreements in the future.
Dar also discussed the Gaza peace plan proposed by US President Trump. He clarified that the 20-point plan announced by Trump was not identical to the draft proposed by eight Muslim countries, including Pakistan. The key difference lies in the 20th point, which involves internationalizing Gaza's administration with a peace council led by Trump and Tony Blair, and stationing Arab and Islamic troops to build a new police force. This differs from the Muslim countries' plan, which likely emphasized a more collective approach and less US-led oversight.
DPM Dar's revelations highlight Pakistan's diplomatic efforts to secure the release of former Senator Mushtaq Ahmed and its engagement with other countries regarding the Strategic Mutual Defence Agreement with Israel news. The differences in the Gaza peace plans underscore the complex nature of international diplomacy and the challenges in reaching consensus on such critical issues.
