Pakistan chairs key UN debates on peace, Palestine, and multilateralism

July 21, 2025 (MLN): Pakistan has stepped into a prominent diplomatic role at the United Nations, with Deputy Prime Minister Mohammad Ishaq Dar in New York to chair a series of high-level UN Security Council (UNSC) meetings on multilateralism, the Middle East, the Palestinian question, and UN-OIC cooperation.

The visit also includes Pakistan’s active participation in a global conference on the two-state solution and a string of high-level bilateral meetings in both New York and Washington.

As part of Pakistan’s UNSC Presidency for July 2025, Dar will chair an Open Debate on “Promoting International Peace and Security through Multilateralism and Peaceful Settlement of Disputes.”

The session will focus on enhancing diplomacy and promoting conflict resolution through global cooperation.

He will also preside over the Quarterly Open Debate on the Situation in the Middle East, including the Palestinian Question.

In addition, he will lead a high-level UNSC briefing on strengthening ties between the UN and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) to support international peace and security.

To reaffirm Pakistan’s firm support for Palestinian self-determination, the Deputy Prime Minister will attend a high-level Conference on the Peaceful Settlement of the Question of Palestine and the Implementation of the Two-State Solution.

Several bilateral engagements with international counterparts and UN leaders are expected during his stay in New York and upcoming engagements in Washington.

To recall, on Friday, Finance Minister Senator Muhammad Aurangzeb recently led high-level trade discussions in Washington with U.S. officials, emphasizing Pakistan’s push to expand cooperation in technology, minerals, and agriculture.

These simultaneous initiatives highlight Pakistan’s active role in both diplomatic and economic engagement on the global stage.
