Islamabad, January 12, 2022 (PPI-OT):Pakistan has called for greater support from the international community to the refugee hosting countries in accordance with the principle of international burden and responsibility sharing. Talking to a delegation from European countries in Islamabad, Foreign Secretary Sohail Mahmood highlighted Pakistan’s unwavering commitment and hospitality by hosting more than three million Afghan Refugees for over 40 years.
He said consolidation of peace and stability in Afghanistan and averting a humanitarian crisis and economic collapse would go a long way in preventing a possible exodus of Afghans from their country. The delegation is on a study visit to Pakistan, organized by the International Centre for Migration Policy Development to assess the opportunities for support and cooperation in the realm of migration management.
