  • A security committee from the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) visited the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore.
  • The security team also visited the National Stadium in Karachi, Multan Cricket Stadium, and Pindi Cricket Stadium.
  • After 2005, England will make its maiden trip to Pakistan.

A security committee from the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) came to Gaddafi Stadium to assess the facilities before England’s impending trip to Pakistan.

The director of International Cricket for the PCB briefed the security delegation, which included Richard Snowball, Robert Lynch, John Carr, and Reg Dickason, at the National High-Performance Center (NHPC).

Before the significant English team’s tour, the delegation toured various areas of the stadium to inspect the infrastructure.

The security team also stopped at the National Stadium in Karachi, Multan Cricket Stadium, and Pindi Cricket Stadium before arriving at Gaddafi Stadium.

The locations for seven T20 Internationals will be decided once this delegation submits a report to the ECB.

After 2005, England will make its maiden trip to Pakistan. Keep in mind that New Zealand abruptly withdrew from the Pakistan tour due to security concerns after England postponed their tour last year.

Pakistan will raise voice for oppressed Palestinians at every international forum: FM Qureshi

RSS ideology is an obstacle to peace in the region: FM Qureshi

After the virtual emergency meeting of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) on Sunday, Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi requested the international community to take immediate action and stop Israeli attacks against the unarmed Palestinians.

“Israeli forces continuously targeting innocent civilians including children, women, and elders in Palestine. Pakistan will raise voice for oppressed Palestinians at every international forum,” Qureshi added.

“Ceasefire is our priority,” Qureshi said following the OIC summit on Palestine, reiterating Pakistan’s unwavering support for the Palestinian people in their rightful battle for legitimate rights, notably their fundamental right to self-determination.

Qureshi, speaking at the OIC’s virtual emergency meeting today, asked the international community to defend Palestinians from Israel’s blatant use of force and flagrant violations of human rights

He asked the international community to intervene immediately to end Israeli atrocities against the civilian people in Gaza, saying that the bombardment of Gaza must be halted immediately.

Shah Mahmood stated that the Prime Minister has discussed the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine with Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.

He expressed support with the Palestinians, saying they are battling heroically for their fundamental rights.

According to the minister, Israel’s crimes against humanity should not go unpunished, and there should be no impunity for Israel’s violations of international law and numerous human rights accords.

It is worth noting that Israel maintained its murderous attacks on Sunday, bringing the death toll of Palestinians in Gaza to 170, with more than 30 children and scores of other women slain in the airstrikes.

A day earlier (Saturday), eleven members of a single extended family were killed in an Israeli air attack on the western Gaza Strip, medics in the Palestinian enclave said.

“We Must Not Fail Palestinian People At This Critical Juncture”: FM Qureshi

Peace In Afghanistan Is Indispensable For Region: FM Qureshi

Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi has on Sunday voiced support for the Palestinian cause amidst the ongoing Israeli atrocities and airstrikes in Gaza, which has so far killed more than 200 innocent Palestinian Muslims.

During the important Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC) meeting, which took place as Al-Quds passes through one of its most difficult phases, FM Qureshi reiterated Pakistan’s full support for Palestine.

The other points raised by the Foreign Minister include:

  1. Indiscriminate use of force by Israeli forces against defenceless Palestinians defies all international law.
  2. The tragedy of forced evictions of Palestinians from Sheikh Jarrah neighbourhood of Al-Quds Al-Shareef is the latest manifestation of a systematic Israeli effort to change demographic structure, historical and legal status and Arab-Islamic / Christian character of Al-Quds Al-Shareef.
  3. Creating false equivalence between Israel, the aggressor and Palestinians, the victims, is inexcusable. Attempts to silence media through tyranny, unacceptable.
  4. OIC owes genesis to the Palestinian issue. Muslim Ummah must exhibit strong solidarity for the people of Palestine with action.

In another tweet, Shah Mahmood Qureshi said that there comes a time in the history of  nations when decisions taken are remembered by posterity and it is important to be on the right side of history.

He also urged the entire Muslim community to not fail Palestinian people at this critical juncture.

Earlier, Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi had a telephonic conversation with the Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi and discussed the Palestinian issue, the peace process in Afghanistan, and Pakistan-China bilateral relations.

The Foreign Minister congratulated Chinese leadership and its people for the successful landing of the Chinese spacecraft at Mars and underlined that it was a historic milestone for China in the technological realm.
