Lahore (News advertisment Latest - NNI. 04 December 2021) Federal Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi has said that a conference of OIC foreign ministers on the issue of Afghanistan is being held on December 19 in Pakistan. The goal is to make progress to prevent any human tragedy from happening in Afghanistan. If any kind of human tragedy does happen, it will not only affect Afghanistan but also its neighbors and the rest of the world. On the sidelines of the OIC Foreign Ministers' Conference, the OIC is inviting not only P5 countries but also other important countries of the world, the United Nations and international organizations to understand the problems of Afghanistan and to manage the resources for Ross. During this time a high level delegation from Afghanistan will also visit Pakistan which will be able to communicate directly with the conference participants and inform them not only of their point of view but also of the problems and difficulties if India wants to help Afghanistan on humanitarian grounds. So we have no problem, India instead of making excuses Send the announced wheat to the people of Nistan, Sialkot incident is not only tragic but a cause of regret, Prime Minister Imran Khan is watching this and a report has been sought from the Punjab government in 48 hours, we are the government of Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka has expressed satisfaction over Pakistan's prompt response and said it does not consider the incident an act of any nation or country. There is no justification for keeping the ATF in the gray list. It is hoped that considering the progress of Pakistan, it will be removed from the gray list of the FATF in the next meeting.
He expressed these views while addressing a press conference at the Governor House.Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi said that Pakistan was going to have the privilege of hosting an extraordinary session of the OIC Foreign Ministers' Conference on December 19. Afghanistan will happen and the basic premise of Ross is that our concern in Afghanistan is and still is, if it is not addressed in time, human tragedy could arise there, if immediate aid is not delivered to Afghanistan and their resources remain frozen. An economic crisis could erupt there and would have dire consequences not only for Afghanistan but also for Afghanistan's neighbors and the region as a whole.
Keeping in view the importance of this, Pakistan has made this effort and progress has been made in this regard. He pointed out that according to an international survey, the situation in Afghanistan is such that if it is not addressed immediately, about half of the population of 22.8 million could suffer from malnutrition and about 3.2 million children could be affected by malnutrition. Maybe that's the nature of the world we need to understand.
The OIC Council of Foreign Ministers is meeting on the situation in Afghanistan after 41 years. The last meeting was held in 1980 and after 41 years Pakistan will have the honor of hosting it. He said that senior officials would have arrived in Pakistan on December 18 and there would be discussions in RAPs. We are expecting that OIC Secretariat officials have arrived in Islamabad on December 14 and will review the preparations.
Pakistan has also invited special envoys from P5 countries, including the United States, China, Russia, France and the United Kingdom. We have also invited the Vice President for Foreign Affairs of the European Union. We are inviting representatives of the World Bank and some other important countries that do not come to the Islamic world or region but are of great importance to them, including Germany. , Japan, Canada, Australia and we believe their presence will make it easier to smooth global public opinion.
He said that it is our wish and that we are trying our best to have a high level Afghan delegation present at this meeting and other forums. Do and discuss your concerns. They can also be helpful if they can ask and answer questions on their own and have direct meetings with them.
He said that the idea of this conference came to the fore during the visit of Prime Minister Imran Khan to Saudi Arabia and what we can do for Afghanistan as a nation. Saudi Arabia chairs the OIC summit. It was very important for them to be on board and we are grateful to them for their great help and assistance. I would like to thank the Saudi Foreign Minister who agreed to the OIC.He took a personal interest in creation.
Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi said that we have come to the conclusion that if any crisis arises in Afghanistan then it would be a historic mistake and we should learn from history and not repeat the mistake. If not addressed in time, a new crisis could arise and instability would ensue and its effects would be felt all over the world, he said, adding that Pakistan was already hosting 3 million Afghan refugees in excess of its status. If such a situation arises again, our resources will not allow us to deal with it. Iran is also concerned about this. This is a concern.
He said that insha'Allah the situation would be discussed with the top representatives of the European Union and members of the European Parliament in Brussels on December 7 and they would be apprised of the situation. Let me also say that after August 15, when the evacuation took place and the interim setup came in Afghanistan, India launched a special campaign against Pakistan and the hashtag of this campaign was that Pakistan is responsible for it, India is fully responsible," he said. They tried to throw rubble and rubble on Pakistan but by the grace of Allah Pakistan did not allow this to happen due to its strategy and successful diplomacy and India was defeated in their intentions.
At the same time, it is gratifying that through our diplomacy we have convinced the international community that a stable Afghanistan is in the interest of all of us. Delegations have gone there, foreign ministers have gone there, there has been a meeting in Doha too and Rabat has moved on. We have also tried to expand our diplomatic outreach and for Ross to visit four neighboring countries immediately after August 15. We have been in constant contact with China and as a result we have built a platform for Afghanistan's six neighbors I succeeded and its main purpose was to consult with all the neighbors. The purpose was also to see if there are opportunities for us if the situation improves. It was for coordination and we succeeded in that too. Is .
He said that there have been meetings in Moscow format, Pakistan's role in Moscow has been appreciated, we are trying to make this meeting extraordinary and we are trying to get two things out of it. Human tragedy is not in anyone's interest, first Afghanistan then its neighbors and then you too can be affected, so try to resolve it before the crisis arises.
The second purpose is to mobilize resources through this conference, how other countries and organizations that come can help Afghanistan. If problems are to be solved then resources are needed. Pakistan has helped Afghanistan according to its status, we have sent food and medicine, we have decided to send fifty thousand tons of wheat. India wants to send wheat, we have given way for it, but God willing, let them Despite the fact that someone is looking for excuses, we have tried not to provide any opportunity to help India in any way to give a negative impression.There is no shame in giving way.
Don't make excuses. Wheat must be given as soon as possible so that the nutritional needs of the people of Afghanistan can be met. He said that our aim was to have a unanimous and record NATO approach, it was an effort of the world but it was also an effort of our neighbors which is a sign that you think Pakistan is responsible for the whole crisis but we tried to make a correct statement to the world. Engage the world and this progress has been successful.
Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi said that there is no doubt in Sialkot that it is a pity, a cause of regret. Have taken notice The Prime Minister himself is watching, the views of the ISPR and Army Chief have come to light. The Prime Minister has given a 48-hour respite. What is the real truth behind it?
We are in touch with Sri Lanka. The Foreign Secretary is keeping abreast of the situation from time to time. Sri Lanka appreciates Pakistan's position and prompt response. He said that he was expecting that Pakistan would bring the responsible persons to justice. He said that the Foreign Minister of Mirasari Lanka has been contacted. I will take the situation into confidence.
"Our relations with Sri Lanka will not be affected as no nation or country has anything to do with this incident," he said. We have contacted the victim's family and are getting acquainted with their family's point of view. ۔ Referring to the electronic voting machine, he said that we would try not only on this but also on other important legislation to get the confidence of the political parties and reach a consensus on the issue.
He said that in our country the objective is forgotten and politics prevails. We will try to have contacts with the opposition on EVM and other legislation and we would like to move forward on these issues. He said that we are Pakistan. Incoming delegates cannot be dictated to but can be asked to do what is appropriate and urgently needed for Afghanistan.
"We have drawn the world's attention to the Kashmir issue at every forum. It has been debated three times in a long time in the Security Council. India's position has been that this is our internal affair and it has The provisions of the constitution have been amended and the status of sovereignty has been buried but Pakistan was of the view that this is not an internal matter of India. This is an international dispute and is on the agenda of the Security Council and we have the right to discuss it Therefore, our position has been found correct and India's position has been denied.
He said that China and Pakistan would work together to thwart the conspiracies of the opponents on the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor project. We have to get the country out of FATF gray list together. After the steps and progress that Pakistan has taken, there is no justification to keep it in gray list. It is expected that in view of Pakistan's progress, Will be removed from FATF's gray list.
