Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar arrived in New York to attend a high-level United Nations Security Council (UNSC) debate, the Foreign Office (FO) said on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
In a post on the social media platform X, the FO said that Dar will attend the debate, which was being convened under China\u2019s presidency of the UNSC.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe will also hold bilateral meetings with his counterparts, as well as senior UN officials,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n
It said that upon arrival, Dar was received by Pakistan\u2019s Permanent Representative to the UN Ambassador Asim Iftikhar Ahmad and Consul General of Pakistan in New York Aamer Ahmad Atozai.<\/p>\n
The FO had earlier stated that Dar was also scheduled to attend a meeting of the Group of Friends on Global Governance during his visit from May 26-28.<\/p>\n
Chinese officials have said the debate on \u201cUpholding the Purposes and Principles of the UN Charter and Strengthening the UN-Centred International System\u201d aims to reinforce the relevance of the UN Charter, strengthen the authority of the UNSC, and promote multilateral diplomacy at a time of increasing global instability.<\/p>\n
Beijing has also warned that rising geopolitical turbulence is placing unprecedented strain on multilateral institutions and the broader international system.<\/p>\n
Pakistan is expected to align with China\u2019s position on strengthening the United Nations and supporting dialogue-based approaches to conflict resolution. Diplomatic sources say that Dar would reiterate Islamabad\u2019s longstanding view that disputes should be resolved peacefully and within the framework of the UN Charter.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, who was also invited by the Chinese to take part in the debate, will not be present after being denied a visa by the host nation.<\/p>\n
According to the Iranian state-run IRNA news agency, Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baqaei told a press briefing on Monday that Araghchi will not be travelling to New York to participate in the meeting \u201cdue to visa issues\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
