Qureshi rejects attempts by some countries to exploit UN reform process
ISLAMABAD: Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi rejected attempts by some countries to exploit the UN reform process for advancing their narrow national ambitions, including their self-arrogated claims to permanent seats on the Security Council.
The foreign minister participated in the annual ministerial meeting of the "Uniting for Consensus (UfC)", hosted by the Italian foreign minister in a virtual format on Monday.
Addressing the participants live, the foreign minister laid out a five-point proposal for advancing the UfC's shared priorities for reforming the UN Security Council.
He reaffirmed that Pakistan would continue to promote a comprehensive reform of the Security Council in order to make it a more democratic, representative, accountable, transparent and efficient body.
