Pakistan’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Asim Iftikhar, told Geo News that during his US trip, PM Sharif will highlight Pakistan’s stance on Kashmir, Palestine, and the Middle East—particularly the recent attack on Qatar. He added that the Prime Minister will address the UN General Assembly as well as participate in a special UN session on Gaza.

Speaking to Geo News correspondent Azeem M. Mian in New York, the envoy noted that the recent resolution on recognizing Palestine as a state received nearly one-third of the votes, which has increased pressure on Israel and its allied countries.
