ISLAMABAD: Muslim World League (MWL) Secretary General Dr. Muhammad bin Abdul Kareem Al-Issa arrived in Pakistan on Wednesday to attend the International Seerat-un-Nabi Conference, Pakistan’s religion ministry said.
Al-Issa has been the MWL secretary-general since 2016 and has forged several alliances with Jewish, Christian and other religious committees across the world. Prime Minister’s special representative for interfaith harmony, Hafiz Muhammad Tahir Mehmood Ashrafi, earlier said the MWL secretary-general would hold meetings with Pakistan’s prime minister, president, National Assembly speaker and other senior leaders in the country.
“At the special invitation of Federal Minister for Religious Affairs Mufti Abdul Shakoor, MWL Secretary-General Dr. Muhammad bin Abdul Kareem Al-Issa has arrived in Pakistan,” Pakistan’s Ministry for Religious Affairs and Interfaith Harmony wrote on Twitter.
“He will attend the Seerat-un-Nabi Conference on Rabiul Awwal 12 as its chief guest,” it added.
Al-Issa was accorded a warm welcome upon arrival at the Nur Khan base in Rawalpindi. Shakoor, Ashrafi and Nawaf bin Said Al-Malki, the Saudi ambassador to Pakistan, received him at the airport with various officials of Pakistan’s religion ministry.
