Khar asks West to help redress global issues

ISLAMABAD:

Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Hina Rabbani Khar stressed on Thursday the dire need for the international community to join hands to realise the much-elusive sustainable development goals (SDGs), face the impending climate-related crises and avert the possible next pandemics.

Addressing the annual meeting of the European Council for Foreign Relations in Stockholm, Khar regretted that at a time when the world needed to confront modern challenges with a united front, it was presenting a picture of a house divided due to great power competition.

Speaking as the key-note speaker at the Public Panel on ‘What the Next World Order Could Look Like’, she underscored that developing countries, in particular, felt threatened by the global power contestation.
