Pakistan’s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Mohammad Ishaq Dar, who arrived in Dhaka on Friday (23 August) for a two-day official visit, held meetings with leaders of the National Citizen Party (NCP) and Jamaat-e-Islami shortly after his arrival.
Dar first met an NCP delegation led by the party’s General Secretary Akhtar Hossain. He praised the NCP leadership’s vision for reform and social justice, stressing the importance of greater interaction between the youth of Pakistan and Bangladesh. The NCP team briefed him on the party’s political mobilisation efforts in 2024. Both sides also discussed ways to promote cultural exchanges between the two countries.
Later, Dar met a Jamaat-e-Islami delegation led by Nayeb-e-Ameer Syed Abdullah Mohammad Taher. The discussions focused on strengthening Pakistan-Bangladesh relations and addressing regional developments.
Dar lauded the “courage and steadfastness” of Jamaat leaders and activists “in the face of hardships and difficulties.”
