UNITED NATIONS:

With peace and security under unprecedented strain, Pakistan has told the UN General Assembly that wars in the Middle East, Europe and Africa, along with the denial of self-determination, notably in Palestine and Kashmir, undermine the credibility of the international system.

"We must ensure implementation of UN Security Council resolutions, and use all UN Charter-based mechanisms to promote just and peaceful settlement of disputes," Ambassador Asim Iftikhar Ahmad said, while commenting on the UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres' priorities for 2026 that he presented to the 193-member Assembly.
