Referring to blasphemous caricatures, the Prime Minister conveyed the deep anguish of the people of Pakistan on such attempts to hurt the feelings of billions of Muslims. The Prime Minister urged the President to play her role in dissuading elements that carried out such hurtful acts.

The importance of building harmony and inter-religious understanding and dialogue was also underlined in the meeting.

The Prime Minister commended the President for her leadership and efforts aimed at empowering the disadvantaged and marginalized people, noting that these priorities were in tune with the government's people-centric agenda.

He also briefed the President on government's plans for creation of jobs for young Pakistanis, launching of a massive poverty alleviation programme, five million housing units and billion tree tsunami.

The General Assembly President expressed deep appreciation to the Prime Minister for pursuing an agenda that is anchored in the welfare of people.

She also lauded Pakistan's efforts for peace and reconciliation in Afghanistan and its exemplary hospitality of millions of Afghan refugees.
