Pakistan eyeing cooperate with US at UN in meeting global challenges

New York (UNA-OIC) – A top Pakistani diplomat has expressed the hope that the United Nations under the new Biden administration, will revive its active engagement at the UN to enable the world community to effectively respond to global challenges such as the coronavirus pandemic, climate change, terrorism and promoting Sustainable Development goals (SDGs).
“Everyone at the UN is very happy that America is back, and the new U.S. administration has committed itself to participate actively in the UN, reviving multilateralism, and working with other member states to promote the goals and objectives of the UN Charter,” Munir Akram, Pakistan permanent representative to the UN, said in a virtual seminar organized by US Army War College.
Pakistan, he said, looked forward to cooperating with the United States at the UN on all key issues.
Based in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, the US Army War College educates and develops leaders for service at the strategic level while advancing knowledge in the global application of landpower.
Ambassador Akram told the army officers participating in the seminar that the US move, over the last four years, to disengage itself from the UN had contributed to the diminution in the importance of the world body.
In his presentation, the Pakistani envoy explained the key features and functions of the United Nations and its affiliated organs in the maintenance of international peace and security, as well as Pakistan’s active role at the UN, especially in the peace-keeping operations.
