He reiterated that Pakistan strongly condemns Israeli atrocities in Palestine, Lebanon, and Syria, calling for an immediate ceasefire, humanitarian aid, and accountability for war crimes and genocide.

He said that corruption, a global menace, hinders economic growth, erodes public trust, and undermines the rule of law. It obstructs poverty eradication efforts, improvement of living standards, and provision of quality education and healthcare. Addressing this requires robust national frameworks, international cooperation, and adherence to anti-corruption standards.

Pakistan's Minister for Law and Justice told Qatar Tribune that  'Today, Pakistan is honored to sign the Makkah Al-Mukarramah Convention, reaffirming its unwavering commitment to transparency, accountability, and the rule of law'.

He added that this milestone reflects the collective determination of OIC member states to combat corruption and create a fairer, more accountable society. The convention offers a robust framework for mutual legal assistance, information sharing, and capacity building among anti-corruption agencies.

Tarar said that Pakistan has consistently advocated sustainable approaches to fighting corruption. It has signed bilateral extradition treaties with 34 countries and established MOUs with nations like Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, and Nigeria to enhance agency-to-agency cooperation under the UNCAC and OIC frameworks. Active participation in networks like the Asset Recovery Inter-Agency Network, GlobE Network, and Asia Pacific Group on Money Laundering strengthens Pakistan’s fight against corruption, he added.
