  "account": "Foreign Office spokesperson Sajjad Haider Khan revealed on Thursday that Pakistan was collaborating with Somali authorities to repatriate the crew of the sea vessel MT Honour 25. Among the deceased were three Pakistani nationals, Rafiullah Khan, Syed Kashif Umar, and Mahmood Ahmed Ansari, while four crew members, including three Pakistanis, sustained injuries and were receiving medical attention. Haider Khan expressed deep sorrow over the loss of the five crew members during the sea rescue operation. Pakistan remains in contact with Somali authorities and other stakeholders to secure the safe return of the surviving Pakistani crew members and provide medical care for the injured. Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar had been actively engaged in various bilateral and multilateral meetings during the United Nations General Assembly week in New York, with details to be disclosed in an upcoming press briefing. In September 28-30, Pakistan assumed the chairmanship of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Council of Heads of State, where national coordinators discussed activities, initiatives, and coordination with SCO member states. These discussions aligned with Pakistan's theme for its SCO chairmanship: \"Turning Vision into Action: Connectivity, Innovation and Shared Prosperity.\"",
