Pakistan has assumed the presidency of the United Nations Security Council for the month of July, part of its current term as a non-permanent member that began in January 2024.
Ambassador Asim Iftikhar Ahmad, Pakistan’s permanent representative to the UN, now leads the Council and outlined his country’s priorities in a press briefing.
He said Pakistan would carry out its presidency with transparency, inclusiveness and strong crisis response, while upholding international law and the UN Charter.
This is Pakistan’s eighth time leading the Council.
Pakistan plans two high-level sessions. The first, on 22 July, will focus on multilateralism and peaceful dispute resolution and will be chaired by Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Muhammad Ishaq Dar.
A second session on 24 July will highlight cooperation between the UN and regional organisations, including a briefing involving the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC).
