New Delhi, Feb 9 : A Pakistani politician is receiving high praise from China for his comments on economic development and progress in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, an area in Western China infamous for crimes against humanity committed against Muslim Uyghurs and other members of ethnic and religious minority groups.
In an interview to China s state-run press agency Xinhua over the weekend, Chairman of Pakistan s Senate Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs Mushahid Hussain Syed had asserted that the Uyghur Muslim community groups in Xinjiang are leading their lives in peace and some western politicians are trying to destabilize China by peddling fiction.
On Tuesday 5 January 2021, Egypt, alongside Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates (U.A.E.), and Bahrain, signed a reconciliation agreement with Qatar, aimed at resolving a three-and-a-half year boycott imposed on Doha. The signing occurred during the 41st Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Summit, which was held in the city of Al-Ula, in Saudi Arabia. According to Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the agreement comes after months of diplomatic negotiations aimed at promoting “solidarity and stability” in the region. With the signing of the agreement, Egypt and its three Arab allies plan to restore full diplomatic and trade ties with Qatar and lift the blockade imposed on the country.
