Press Release

Responding to queries regarding the media reports alleging a visit to Israel by former Special Assistant to the Prime Minister (SAPM) on Overseas Pakistanis Syed Zulfiqar Bukhari, the Spokesperson stated:

These reports are baseless and misleading. No such visit to Israel has been undertaken.

In this regard, categorical rejection was also issued today by the former SAPM himself.

It may be recalled that this Ministry had rebutted similar false reports earlier on 18 December 2020.

As reiterated earlier, there is no change in Pakistan’s principled position. Pakistan has consistently called for a two-state solution, with pre-1967 borders and Al-Quds Sharif as the capital of Palestinian State.
