ISLAMABAD, APR 14 (DNA) – We are following the situation in Syria with grave concern. We call on all sides to refrain from actions inconsistent with the UN Charter.

Pakistan condemns the use of chemical weapons anywhere by anyone. It is important to establish facts through urgent and transparent investigations by the OPCW.

We call upon all parties to strive for an agreement within the OPCW framework and extend full support to the Organization.

At this time our thoughts are with the people of Syria who have suffered as a result of ongoing turmoil in that country. We hope that all parties will work to find an urgent solution to end the suffering of the Syrian people.=DNA
