ISLAMABAD, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 10th Apr, 2024) Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif and Prime Minister of Malaysia Anwar Ibrahim on Wednesday expressed solidarity with the innocent Palestinian people.
The prime minister called the Malaysian counterpart to extend his warm wishes to him and to the people of Malaysia on the occasion of Eid-ul-Fitr, PM Office Media Wing said in a press release.
Prime Minister Sharif expressed the hope that the blessings of the Holy Month of Ramazan would bring peace, progress and prosperity for the people of Pakistan and Malaysia, as well as for the entire Muslim Ummah.

Among other important issues that were discussed during the telephone call, the prime minister appreciated Malaysia’s strong stance against Israel’s genocidal actions in Gaza and its efforts to promote peace in Palestine.
He also lauded Malaysia’s support on the issue of Jammu and Kashmir.
He fondly recalled the Malaysian prime minister’s telephone call that he received on his first day in office after his re-election.
