ISLAMABAD, PAKISTAN: Marking the 80th anniversary of the United Nations Charter, Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar reiterated Pakistan’s strong commitment to promoting peace, justice, and prosperity across the globe.
Dar emphasized that Pakistan remains a responsible and active member of the international community, striving to uphold the UN Charter’s founding principles — sovereign equality, non-interference, self-determination, and peaceful resolution of disputes. He said that these principles have long guided Pakistan’s foreign policy and reflect the vision laid down by the country’s founder.
Highlighting Pakistan’s decades-long partnership with the UN, Dar noted that Pakistan has consistently ranked among the top contributors to UN peacekeeping missions since 1960. The country also hosts one of the organization’s oldest observer missions and continues to play a significant role in advancing consensus and cooperation within the UN framework.
He further stated that Pakistan, as a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council for 2025–26 and chair in July, remains committed to multilateralism and collective diplomacy in tackling global issues such as conflict, poverty, and climate change.
Drawing attention to human rights violations in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) and the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza, Dar reaffirmed Pakistan’s stance on defending justice, human dignity, and the rights of oppressed nations.
He concluded by stating that Pakistan will continue to work with other member states to ensure that the UN Charter’s promise — of peace, development, and equality for all — is fully realized.
