KARACHI: “Pakistan has one and only one ambition: to serve Islam and to serve humanity,” declared the Prime Minister of Pakistan, Mr Liaquat Ali Khan, inaugurating the International Islamic Economic Conference in Karachi on Friday [Nov 25] night. The Prime Minister … assured the delegates that the people of Pakistan have great love … for the peoples of Muslim countries. Nothing would give the Pakistanis greater joy than to see all the Islamic countries progressing “economically, socially and culturally and becoming strong”. Mr Liaquat Ali Khan urged the Muslim countries … to banish “poverty, hunger, disease and ignorance[”]… . He said, it was a pleasure to welcome … delegate[s] from … 16 Muslim countries to Karachi and more so because they were meeting not for any “warlike purpose” or to “plan anything against any other country”, but for mutual cooperation, for the sake of mutual benefit. Explaining “What has brought us toge­ther”? he said that besides being good neighbours interested in each other’s welfare there were stronger ties which bound them together. “We all belong to the great brotherhood of Islam.” — Staff correspondent
