The Pakistan Prime Minister apprised his British counterpart about the adverse impact of climate change, confronting the country.

Speaking about Pakistan’s sacrifices in the war against terrorism, Shehbaz Sharif said terrorism is a global issue and the international community will have to work for the elimination of this menace jointly.
