UNITED NATIONS:

Pakistan has called for investing more in conflict prevention and pacific settlement of disputes as reaffirmed by the Security Council in its resolution (2788).

"We must rekindle the spirit of Helsinki, avoid confrontation, invest more in dialogue and diplomacy, and renew our unwavering commitment to crafting mutually agreed Confidence and Security-Building Measures (CBMs)", Pakistani Ambassador Asim Iftikhar Ahmad told the 15-member Council on Monday.

He was speaking after a briefing from the Chairperson-in-Office of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) and Finland's Foreign Minister Elina Valtonen.
