Pak PM Shehbaz signs charter for Board of Peace amid criticism by opposition

Islamabad, Jan 22: Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Thursday joined a group of world leaders in signing the charter for the Board of Peace for Gaza, headed by US President Donald Trump, despite criticism from the opposition parties.
“Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf does not accept the Government of Pakistan’s decision to join the ‘Board of Peace’,” said the party headed by jailed former prime minister Imran Khan.
The party emphasises that decisions of such international significance must always be undertaken with full transparency and inclusive consultation with all major political stakeholders, it said in a statement.
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf said that Pakistan’s participation in any international peace initiative should complement and reinforce the UN’s multilateral system, rather than creating parallel structures that could dilute or complicate global governance. (PTI)
