The Kartarpur Corridor deal between India and Pakistan was extended for a further five years, according to Pakistan.

A Foreign Office statement states that the goal of the India-Pakistan accord is to make it easier for pilgrims to travel to Gurudwara Darbar Sahib Kartarpur in Narowal, Pakistan.

This month marks the end of the initial period of the agreement, which was first signed on October 24, 2019, for a five-year term.

The renewal of the agreement, according to the statement, demonstrates Pakistan’s unwavering dedication to promoting interfaith harmony and peaceful coexistence.

The Agreement still permits Indian visitors to enter the holy location of Gurudwara Darbar Sahib Kartarpur, where Baba Guru Nanak, the renowned founder of Sikhism, spent his last days, without a visa.

Thousands of pilgrims have used the Corridor to reach this sacred location since it first opened.

A long-held desire of the Sikh community to have access to one of their most sacred sites is now possible thanks to the Kartarpur Corridor.

It shows that Pakistan understands how important it is to protect religious minorities’ rights.

UN Secretary-General António Guterres has praised the project, calling it a “Corridor of Hope.” The program has received broad praise from the world community.

The security of the diplomatic enclave and the red zone is the government’s main priority, according to Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Muhammad Ishaq Dar.

The deputy prime minister told the Dplomate Corps in Islamabad that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf had a violent past and that it was responsible for the current upheaval in the Federal Capital.

The president of Belarus visited Pakistan on November 24 and the government had to welcome him and his entourage, he said, but PTI chose the same day for its agitation tactics.

According to Senator Ishaq Dar, the party leadership convened multiple lengthy meetings to try to alter the protests’ date and venue, but their ill-intentioned actions prevented the change from succeeding.

This year, the government established the Law of Peace and Protection Act 2024, which prohibits such protests in certain areas. However, the PTI leadership disregarded this law and continued to protest in the red zone, according to the Foreign Minister.

According to Dar, the PTI also made up the tale of the 35 punctures in 2013 that claimed electoral tampering, but the investigation found that this was untrue.
