She said that Pakistan would carry out its responsibilities with a deep sense of commitment, credibility, honest dialogue and mutual respect.

She said as an ardent advocate of cooperative multilateralism, Pakistan would continue to work together with all member states to defend shared values and the purposes and principles of the UN Charter, and to mobilize collective efforts to promote our common objectives at UNESCO. These would include Africa and Gender Equality and the Small Island Developing States (SIDS) Operational Strategy, the spokesperson added.
