Pakistan Urges Stronger UN-Arab League Cooperation

United Nations (TDI): Pakistan has called for bolstering UN-Arab League cooperation, saying it would help in addressing international challenges such as terrorism, organized crime and climate change.

Speaking in the UN Security Council on Thursday, Pakistan’s permanent representative to the UN, Ambassador Munir Akram, emphasized the 22-member League’s important role in advancing peace, security, and development in the Arab world.

He said, “Its efforts in conflict resolution, humanitarian aid, and promoting dialogue have been pivotal in addressing regional crises.”

Pakistan, he said, values its historic and deep-rooted relations with the Arab world, and strongly supports the Arab League’s efforts to resolve regional conflicts, foster dialogue, and advance peaceful resolution of disputes.

“A key priority for Pakistan is the resolution of long-standing and festering conflicts, especially those which arise from foreign occupation and the denial of self-determination such as in Palestine as well as IIOJK,” Ambassador Akram said.

Effective partnerships must also tackle capacity gaps and secure sustainable financing, the envoy stated, while encouraging the League to enhance engagement also with the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, Economic Cooperation Organization and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations.
