In a high-level meeting at the United Nations headquarters, Senator Mohammad Ishaq Dar, Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister of Pakistan, discussed regional developments with H.E. Antonio Guterres, Secretary-General of the United Nations. The conversation highlighted Pakistan’s ongoing efforts to promote dialogue and diplomacy for lasting peace and stability in the Middle East, alongside a broad agenda of global issues. The leaders exchanged views on reform of the UN Security Council, the Jammu and Kashmir dispute, Afghanistan, and Palestine. Secretary-General Guterres appreciated Pakistan's active engagement and contributions to international peace and security, as well as to the UN’s broader agenda. Ambassador Asim Iftikhar Ahmad, Pakistan’s Permanent Representative to the UN, was present to represent Islamabad. The exchange underscores Pakistan’s commitment to multilateralism and regional stability, while also underscoring the persistent challenge of Security Council reform and the fragile state of regional hotspots. In my view, Pakistan’s emphasis on dialogue reflects a pragmatic approach to navigating multilayered conflicts. If the international community remains engaged and Pakistan continues to offer constructive proposals, diplomacy could gradually advance stalled processes, though meaningful reform of the Security Council and durable peace in volatile regions will require sustained political will and broad-based consensus.
