The statement said Pakistan would underline the need for full implementation of the ceasefire agreement and complete withdrawal of Israel from the occupied Palestinian territory, especially Gaza.
“Pakistan will also emphasize the need to provide unrestricted humanitarian assistance to the Palestinians and the reconstruction of Gaza,” the foreign ministry said.
He added that Islamabad would reiterate the need for collective efforts to achieve an independent, viable and contiguous State of Palestine, with Al-Quds Al-Sharif as its capital, based on the pre-1967 borders and in line with relevant UN resolutions and the Arab Peace Initiative.

“Pakistan has been and will continue to be committed to efforts to restore peace, justice and dignity to the Palestinian people, as well as to ensure the realization of their right to self-determination,” the statement concluded.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs noted that Pakistan, along with seven other Arab-Islamic countries, has engaged in engagements aimed at ensuring a sustainable ceasefire in Gaza following the peace initiative that culminated in the Sharm El-Sheikh agreement.
Israel and Hamas signed a historic ceasefire and hostage and prisoner exchange agreement on October 10, the first phase of a US-brokered peace plan aimed at ending two years of devastating war in Gaza that has claimed more than 67,000 Palestinian lives and reshaped Middle East politics.
The agreement, brokered by the United States, Qatar, Egypt and Türkiye, commits both sides to stopping hostilities, facilitating the release of Israeli hostages and Palestinian prisoners and allowing large-scale humanitarian aid to enter Gaza.
On October 13, mediators Egypt, Qatar and Turkiye signed a document with US President Donald Trump, formalizing the Gaza ceasefire agreement. The document was signed during an international summit hosted by Egypt in the Red Sea resort of Sharm El-Sheikh, where Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif was also present.
