PM praises European countries for recognizing Palestinian, hopes for same attention for Kashmir
Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has praised Spain, Norway, and Ireland for their decision to recognize the state of Palestine, hoping that the international community will “pay the same amount of attention” to the plight of the people of Kashmir, as reported by Arab News.
The prime ministers of Ireland, Spain, and Norway announced on Wednesday that they would formally recognize Palestine as a state on May 28, following recent recognitions by Barbados, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, and the Bahamas.
In a telephonic conversation with Norwegian PM Jonas Gahr Store on Sunday night, PM Sharif appreciated Norway’s “principled stance,” adding that it would send a message of hope and solidarity to the people of Kashmir suffering continuous bombardment at Israel’s hands.
