The theme of the anthem is to \u201chold firmly to the rope of Allah and do not be divided,\u201d he said quoting a verse from chapter Al Imran of the Holy Quran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Partnering for unity and development<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Pakistan\u2019s foreign minister said it was \u201can honour for Pakistan\u201d to host the OIC foreign ministers\u2019 conference for the second time after the OIC extraordinary session on Afghanistan in December 2021. \u201cThis session is special for us as it coincides with the 75th Pakistan Day. We have invited all the visiting guests to attend the national parade of Pakistan,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Pakistan will seek to build bridges of cooperation and partnerships amongst OIC member states and beyond, focusing on the theme of the 48th session of OIC-CFM which is \u2018Partnering for Unity, Justice and Development.\u2019 Qureshi said that the summit would help nations chart out a way forward to deal with multiple challenges including climate change and the economic difficulties due to the COVID-19 pandemic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The OIC session is likely to adopt over one hundred resolutions. Islamophobia would be one of the topics of discussion as the member states would gather after United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) on March 15 unanimously adopted a \u201clandmark resolution\u201d introduced by Pakistan on behalf of OIC countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nearly 50 nations to attend summit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Representatives of nearly 50 Islamic countries have so far confirmed their participation in the 48th OIC foreign minister\u2019s conference that coincides with the Pakistan Day parade held on March 23. The OIC foreign ministers have been invited as \u201cguests of honour\u201d at the parade. Pakistani prime minister will deliver a keynote address at the inaugural session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pakistan has previously hosted four sessions of the OIC-CFM. The OIC is the second-largest intergovernmental organization in the world after the UN with 57 Muslim member states spread across four continents. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><em>With inputs from the <a href=\"https:\/\/gulfnews.com\/world\/asia\/pakistan\/watch-pakistan-launches-official-anthem-of-48th-session-of-oic-foreign-ministers-summit-1.86594480\">Gulf News<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>(Except for the headline, this story has not been edited by Kashmir Today staff and is published from a syndicated feed.)&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The anthem \u2018Hum Mustafavi Hain\u2019 sung by Pakistani singer Ali Zafar has been launched by the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting | Image Credit: YouTube Gulf News Islamabad: Pakistan has released the official anthem of the 48th session of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation\u2019s (OIC) Council of Foreign Ministers to be held in Islamabad on [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":28231,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-50902","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-world-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kashmir.watch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50902","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kashmir.watch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kashmir.watch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kashmir.watch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kashmir.watch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=50902"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kashmir.watch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50902\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kashmir.watch\/index.php?rest_route=\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kashmir.watch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=50902"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kashmir.watch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=50902"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kashmir.watch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=50902"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
