Ambassador Asim Iftikhar Ahmad, Pakistan’s representative to the UN, outlined a month guided by transparency, inclusivity, and commitment to the UN Charter.
Key priorities include:
- Promoting multilateral peace frameworks (High-Level Session: July 22)
- Strengthening partnerships with regional organizations, especially the OIC (Session: July 24)
