ISLAMABAD: Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister (DPM/FM) Senator Mohammad Ishaq Dar on Monday reaffirmed Pakistan’s steadfast commitment to international peace and security, dialogue, diplomacy and an effective and inclusive multilateral order with the United Nations at its centre.
On the occasion of the International Day of Peace, Dar said that Pakistan is fully committed to international peace and security, and an effective and inclusive multilateral order.
Our diplomatic initiatives in support of the “Pacific Settlement of Disputes”, including mediation between Iran and the U.S., reflect this commitment.
This day offers a significant reminder to all of us that dialogue, diplomacy, and adherence to the purposes and principles of the UN Charter are the only means of achieving sustainable peace.
Pakistan calls on the international community to fulfil its responsibilities by upholding the UN Charter, respecting international law, and pursuing the just and lasting settlement of disputes through peaceful means.
He stated, “As a long-standing and leading troop contributor to UN peacekeeping, Pakistan’s enduring commitment to the maintenance of international peace and security is well established. Pakistan continues to advocate a comprehensive approach to preventing and resolving conflicts through dialogue and diplomacy.”
The unanimous adoption of UN Security Council Resolution 2788, sponsored by Pakistan during its Presidency of the Council last year, represents an important reaffirmation of the Security Council’s resolve to reinforce mechanisms for the peaceful settlement of disputes.
Pakistan believes that unresolved disputes continue to fuel regional and international insecurity. Pakistan also believes that durable peace cannot be achieved when the right of peoples to self-determination is denied, and UN Security Council resolutions are left unimplemented. This is particularly evident in situations of foreign occupation, including Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir and the Occupied Palestinian Territory.
Pakistan stands ready to serve as a trusted partner in advancing our shared commitments towards a peaceful and prosperous world, Dar remarked.
