New york: Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar has engaged in a significant meeting with Peter Launsky, the Special Envoy for Global Affairs of the Austrian Chancellor, during the High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development in New York. These meetings, which occur on the sidelines of United Nations events, are crucial as they offer a platform to discuss issues with countries with which consultations are infrequent.
According to Radio Pakistan, the meeting was described as multidimensional due to Peter Launsky's involvement in foreign affairs and other areas, which could foster positive impacts on both bilateral and multilateral levels. Vienna, being a major UN city, amplifies the significance of Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar's efforts in presenting Pakistan's national and international perspectives to the world.
Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar is also expected to strongly advocate Pakistan's stance on the United Nations Security Council, emphasizing the need for resolution of unresolved disputes in Gaza, Ukraine, and the Indian attacks on Myanmar, in accordance with the UN charter. As countries work on UN reforms, Pakistan has proposed several solutions aimed at enabling member countries to resolve conflicts peacefully. Additionally, Pakistan seeks to counter Indian misinformation on various issues, particularly those targeting Pakistan.
