Pakistan says peace and stability in the Middle East region is Islamabad’s top priority.

In a statement, Foreign Office Spokesperson Zahid Hafeez Chaudhry reiterated Pakistan's commitment to a two state solution to the Middle East issue.

In response to normalization of ties between the United Arab Emirates and Israel, he said Pakistan’s approach will be guided by our evaluation of how Palestinians’ rights and aspirations are upheld and how regional peace, security and stability are preserved.

He said, we have noted the joint statement announcing agreement of UAE and Israel to have full normalization of relations and this is a development with far-reaching implications.
