Time for Muslim world to talk about joint defence, currency & trade: Khurram Nawaz Gandapur

PAT Secretary General Khurram Nawaz Gandapur has said that hosting the 48th Summit of the Council of Foreign Ministers is a great honour for Pakistan. He said that the OIC needs to become fully active and involved to play a meaningful role in international politics. He also welcomed the discussion on Palestine and Kashmir on the platform of the OIC and said that the matters related to joint defence, joint currency and joint trade should be advanced.

Khurram Nawaz Gandapur said that it is not possible for any single country to move forward in today's global world. He said that the Islamic countries blessed with mineral and human resources should benefit from one another's experiences, adding that they should particularly prepare themselves for a footprint in the world of e-commerce and digital media. He said that the Islamic world suffers from the image problem because of its lack of adequate representation in the global media.

PAT Secretary General said that the past three decades have been very tough for the Muslim world. He said that their economy and mutual unity were harmed by accusing them of terrorism and extremism. He said that these losses can be compensated for only when the Islamic countries forge unity in their ranks. He said that the practicable agenda of international peace is only with the Islamic world. He said that unity in the ranks of Muslims is the dire need of the hour for sustainable peace. He said that Islam is the only divine religion that considers the killing of a human being as heinous crime.
