President Arif Alvi expresses gratitude for Turkiye's steadfast support on Kashmir dispute
Both countries held similar views on issue of Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir, and reconstitution of the United Nations

Islamabad: President Dr Arif Alvi has said Islamophobia is on the rise around the world, especially in India where all religious minorities, especially Muslims, are being coerced and intimidated.
He made these remarks while talking to the outgoing Ambassador of Turkiye to Pakistan, Ihsan Mustafa Yurdakul, who called on him in Islamabad today (Thursday).
The President said the homes and places of worship of Muslims are being destroyed, and their religious symbols and personalities are ridiculed and insulted with impunity in India.
The President expressed Pakistan's gratitude for Turkiye's steadfast support to Pakistan on the Kashmir dispute and appreciated Turkiye's active role in the OIC Contact Group on Jammu and Kashmir.
He said both the countries held similar views on the issue of Cyprus, the Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir, and the reconstitution of the United Nations.

Boris Johnson resigns as British PM
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson makes a statement at Downing Street in London

London: Boris Johnson said on Thursday he was resigning as Britain’s prime minister, bowing to calls from ministerial colleagues and lawmakers in his Conservative Party.
“The process of choosing that new leader should begin now,” Johnson said at the door of Number 10 Downing Street.
“And today I have appointed a cabinet to serve, as I will until a new leader is in place.”
After days of battling for his job, the scandal-plagued Johnson had been deserted by all but a handful of allies after the latest in a series of scandals broke their willingness to support him.
"His resignation was inevitable," Justin Tomlinson, deputy chairman of the Conservative Party, said on Twitter. "As a party, we must quickly unite and focus on what matters. These are serious times on many fronts."
The Conservatives will now have to elect a new leader, a process that could take weeks or months.
