PM Shehbaz arrives in New York to attend 81st UNGA session amid Middle East crisis
Premier to address UNGA on September 25, will present Pak's stance on evolving regional, global security landscape
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif traveled to New York this week to represent Pakistan at the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA). He was greeted at the airport by Pakistan’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Asim Iftikhar Ahmad. The premier’s address at the UNGA, scheduled for September 25, is expected to focus on Pakistan’s viewpoint on regional and global security, particularly in light of recent tensions between Washington and Tehran.
The UNGA’s theme this year is ‘Restoring Trust, Managing Transformation: A United Nations That Delivers for All’, and the debate is anticipated to run from September 22 to 26, with a final session on September 28. Pakistan also plans to highlight its efforts in resolving regional tensions and advancing various global issues such as sustainable development, climate change, terrorism, Islamophobia, and economic challenges.
The premier will also address the long-standing issues of Indian-occupied Kashmir and Palestine, as well as meeting with world leaders and UN Secretary General.
