[18 foreign ministers issued a joint statement opposing Colombia’s establishment of an embassy in Jerusalem] On October 16, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Pakistan issued a joint statement of 18 foreign ministers on the 16th local time, strongly condemning and clearly opposing Colombia’s establishment of an embassy in Israel in Jerusalem. The statement stated that Colombia's move violated relevant United Nations Security Council resolutions and undermined the international community's efforts to achieve a just and lasting peace based on the "two-state solution." The statement reiterated that any measures or decisions aimed at changing the legal and historical status of occupied Jerusalem or recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel are invalid and have no legal effect. The statement called on the Colombian government to reconsider and revoke this decision, fulfill its obligations under international law, and avoid taking measures that undermine the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people, including their right to establish an independent Palestinian state based on the 1967 borders and with East Jerusalem as its capital. The statement was jointly issued by the foreign ministers of 18 countries including Pakistan, Algeria, Djibouti, Egypt, Indonesia, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Malaysia, Oman, Palestine, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Syria, Sudan and Turkey.
