ISLAMABAD: The Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) of the United Nations has elected Pakistan to the membership of three of its subcommittees.

Pakistan will join the Commission on Narcotic Drugs for a three-year term ending in 2015, the commission on Sustainable Development for a term ending in 2013 and the Committee on Programme and Coordination for a two-year term ending in 2014.

Pakistan’s membership of these committees will be managed by the country’s permanent mission to the United Nations, based in New York City.

Pakistani diplomats view the country’s election to these bodies as recognition of Pakistan’s active participation in international cooperation efforts.
