PM Shehbaz Sharif’s Meeting with UN Secretary-General: A Step Toward Global Cooperation
On September 26, during the bustling UN General Assembly in New York, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif met with the United Nations Secretary-General, António Guterres. Their encounter was described as "warm and cordial," emphasizing the importance of collaboration in tackling some of the world’s most pressing challenges.
In their discussion, PM Shehbaz reiterated Pakistan’s firm commitment to multilateralism, highlighting the key role of the UN in global governance. He praised Secretary-General Guterres for his remarkable leadership in promoting global peace and stability, especially in amplifying the voices of developing nations—a much-needed effort in today’s interconnected world.
One focal point of their conversation was Pakistan’s recent struggle with severe floods. The Secretary-General commended the country’s swift action in rescue and relief operations. PM Shehbaz stressed the urgency of joint efforts to combat climate change, calling for increased climate finance to support vulnerable countries like Pakistan. This reflects a growing global awareness that addressing climate issues is not just a national concern; it is a shared responsibility.
Additionally, PM Shehbaz brought attention to vital regional matters, notably the situation in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK). He advocated for a peaceful resolution to the Kashmir dispute, in accordance with UN Security Council resolutions, while also addressing other security concerns. The Secretary-General acknowledged Pakistan’s principled stance on these issues, which adds weight to the country’s voice in international dialogues.
Moreover, the Prime Minister expressed deep empathy for the ongoing crisis in Gaza. He reiterated Pakistan’s support for a ceasefire, the delivery of humanitarian aid, and a political pathway toward Palestinian statehood. Such statements highlight Pakistan’s commitment to not just national but also global peace and justice.
In his 25-minute address to the UNGA, PM Shehbaz addressed a spectrum of topics—from the recent India-Pakistan tensions to the plight of communities affected by flooding, terrorism, and the need for sustainable development. His remarks resonated with the aim to foster stability, not just within Pakistan but across the globe.
As Pakistan continues to play its role on the global stage, the words of PM Shehbaz serve as a reminder of the collective responsibility we all share in creating a peaceful world.
