World leaders adopt 'Pact for the Future'

World leaders on Sunday adopted a Pact for the Future aimed at strengthening global governance to address challenges ranging from conflict to climate change and human rights, despite last-minute objections from a group of countries led by Russia.

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, who organized the "Summit of the Future," had billed it as a "once-in-a-generation opportunity" to reshape human history by rekindling international cooperation.

Asked by APP for comments, Pakistan UN Ambassador Munir Akram said that while the documents were "not perfect", it will advance world community's common objectives.
