ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s Religious Affairs Minister Chaudhry Salik Hussain has arrived in Cairo on a five-day visit to attend a conference of Egypt’s Supreme Council of Islamic Affairs, Hussain’s ministry said on Saturday.
The 35th international conference of the Supreme Council of Islamic Affairs is being held in Egypt on August 25-26 on “the Role of Women in Building Awareness.”
Upon arrival in Cairo, Hussain was received by Pakistan’s Ambassador to Egypt Sajid Bilal and senior officials from the Egyptian ministry of endowments.
“During the conference, the minister will engage with international leaders and scholars to discuss the vital role of women in promoting awareness and fostering harmony within Muslim communities,” Hussain’s ministry said in a statement.
The conference aims to underscore appreciation for women and highlight their role in building a family, a society and a nation.
Pakistan and Egypt enjoy cordial ties with each other. The two countries have resolved to enhance bilateral trade in recent years by facilitating businessmen through visas, trade-related information and private sector contacts.
Friendly ties between the two countries can be traced back to 1947 when Pakistan gained independence and its founder, Muhammad Ali Jinnah, visited Egypt at the special invitation of King Fuad II.
