Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif will visit Egypt today (Monday) to participate in the Sharm El Sheikh peace summit and attend the signing ceremony of the agreement aimed at ending the prevailing grave situation in Gaza.

The prime minister is visiting Egypt at the invitation of Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El Sisi and US President Donald Trump.

According to the Foreign Office spokesperson, the prime minister will be accompanied by Deputy Prime Minister/Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar and other senior ministers during the visit.

The prime minister will participate in the Peace Leadership Summit, which aims to end the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza, and will also attend the signing ceremony of a peace agreement.

Earlier, on September 23, 2025, Prime Minister Shehbaz joined the leaders of seven Arab and Islamic countries — Egypt, Jordan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Indonesia, and Turkey — in a high-level meeting with the US President to explore pathways for achieving lasting peace in Gaza.

Prime Minister’s participation in the summit reflects Pakistan’s historic, consistent, and unwavering support for the just cause of the Palestinian people for their right to self-determination as well as for achieving lasting peace and stability in the region.

Pakistan hopes that the Sharm El Sheikh Peace Summit will pave the way for full Israeli withdrawal, protection of Palestinian civilians, an end to their displacement, release of prisoners, addressing the prevailing grave humanitarian situation, as well as reconstruction of Gaza.

Pakistan also hopes that such efforts will contribute to a credible political process aimed at achieving an independent, viable, and contiguous State of Palestine, with Al Quds Al Sharif as its capital, based on pre-1967 borders, in line with relevant UN resolutions and the Arab Peace Initiative.
