Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif arrived in London on Thursday for a two-day layover before traveling to the United States to attend the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) session in New York. The Prime Minister's Office stated that Shehbaz would depart for the US on Saturday and return to Pakistan on September 27 or 28 following the UNGA session. The official reason for the London stopover was to avoid a lengthy journey from Pakistan to the US.
Shehbaz is set to deliver a speech at the UNGA on September 25, during which he will discuss Pakistan's stance on regional and global issues and outline the country's priorities. The premier will be accompanied by Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar, along with federal ministers and senior government officials.
The 81st session of the UNGA carries the theme 'Restoring Trust, Managing Transformation: A United Nations That Delivers for All'. The debate is scheduled to take place from September 22 to 26, concluding with a final sitting on September 28. One of the key topics expected to dominate discussions among world leaders is the ongoing conflict between Washington and Tehran, particularly focusing on the security of the Strait of Hormuz, regional stability, and the potential for a diplomatic resolution to the crisis.
