Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif will attend the 77th session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York from September 19-23.
He will address the UN General Assembly on September 23. His focus will be on challenges faced by Pakistan in the wake of recent climate-induced catastrophic floods in the country. He will outline concrete proposals for collectively tackling the existential threat posed by climate change.
The prime minister will also share Pakistan’s position and perspective on regional and global issues of concern, including Jammu and Kashmir, which is one of the long-standing unresolved disputes on the UN agenda, the Foreign Office spokesperson said in a press release on Sunday.
The premier will also have the opportunity to interact during the receptions hosted by the UN Secretary General and President of the United States. The prime minister will also hold interactions with the international media.
The prime minister will be accompanied by the foreign minister, other members of the cabinet and senior officials. On the sidelines of the UNGA session, the prime minister will participate in the Global Food Security Summit jointly organised by the African Union, European Union and the United States, and a closed-door Leaders Gathering on COP-27 bringing together select world leaders to discuss climate change.
