DUBAI: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif reaffirmed Pakistan's support for a two-state solution to the Palestinian issue, calling it the only path to lasting peace in the region.

Speaking at the World Governments Summit in Dubai, he said the region is still reeling from the aftershocks of the Gaza war, which claimed the lives of 50,000 Palestinians.

He emphasised that Pakistan firmly supports the establishment of an independent Palestinian state based on pre-1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital, in line with United Nations resolutions.

Shifting focus to Pakistan's economic trajectory, PM Shehbaz stated that despite extraordinary challenges, the country is on the path to recovery.

He said Pakistan stood at the crossroads of economic transformation. He further underscored Pakistan's commitment to achieving sustainable development, noting that the country requires a $ 100 billion investment in the energy sector alone to meet its growing demands.

Discussing Pakistan's energy transition, he shared ambitious plans to generate 60% of the country's energy from renewable sources by 2030.
