Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar will arrive in New York ahead of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif's visit to the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA). Dar's early arrival allows for preliminary consultations, enabling Pakistan to prepare for a week of diplomatic activity as world leaders gather amid various regional conflicts.
The Pakistani delegation has been streamlined, with only Dar and senior foreign-policy adviser Tariq Fatemi forming the core of the prime minister's team. The UNGA high-level general debate, which begins on Tuesday, will see US President Donald Trump address the assembly on Sept 25, discussing his administration's diplomatic achievements and addressing international crises.
