LAHORE: Chief Minister Punjab Maryam Nawaz Sharif met a delegation led by the European Union Special Representative for Human Rights Olaf Skoog in which matters pertaining to the promotion of fundamental human rights, democracy and rule of law were discussed.

The Chief Minister appreciated the European Union’s continued partnership with Pakistan, especially Punjab and its constructive ties on the human rights issues. The European Union delegation reiterated its commitment to continue supporting Punjab government’s strives for the protection of human rights.

The CM while talking with the European Union delegation said, “Pakistan is fully conforming to the United Nations Human Rights mechanisms.

Practical steps are being undertaken for the welfare of minorities, women, children, differently-abled persons and other vulnerable segments in the province.”
