Pursuant to the Prime Minister’s directive, a nine-member high-level multiparty delegation, led by Chairman Pakistan Peoples Party Bilawal Bhutto Zardari is in New York to hold meetings with the UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, President of the UN General Assembly, as well as the Ambassadors of Permanent and non-permanent members of the UN Security-Council.
The delegation will also visit Washington, London and Brussels.
Another delegation, led by Special Assistant to the Prime Minister, Syed Tariq Fatemi, will also visit Moscow from on Monday.
The visits of these delegations are aimed at projecting Pakistan’s perspective on the recent Indian aggression.
The delegations will highlight Pakistan’s responsible and restrained conduct – seeking peace with responsibility – in the face of India’s reckless and belligerent actions in violation of international law.
They will also highlight that dialogue and diplomacy should take precedence over conflict and confrontation.
The delegations will underscore the imperative for the international community to play its due role in promoting a lasting peace in South Asia.
The need for immediate resumption of the normal functioning of the Indus Waters Treaty will also be a key theme of the delegations’ outreach.
The delegations will engage in a series of meetings with the leadership of international bodies, public office holders, senior officials, parliamentarians, think tanks, media and diaspora.
