A high-level Pakistani parliamentary delegation, led by PPP Chairman and former Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, completed a two-day visit to the United Nations Headquarters in New York. The delegation met with key UN figures, including the Secretary-General, President of the General Assembly, Security Council members, OIC ambassadors, civil society groups, think tanks, media, and the Pakistani diaspora.
According to the Foreign Office, the visit was part of Pakistan’s broader diplomatic campaign to highlight threats to international peace and regional stability—particularly India’s aggressive actions. The delegation emphasized Pakistan’s stance under the banner of “Peace with Responsibility,” pointing to India’s unilateral decisions, ceasefire violations, and suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty as root causes of instability.
The delegation firmly rejected India’s baseless accusations regarding the April 22 terrorist attack in Indian-occupied Jammu and Kashmir. It condemned India’s use of force against civilians and violations of international laws, especially human rights norms and the UN Charter. Pakistan also highlighted its role and sacrifices in the global fight against terrorism, drawing attention to Indian-sponsored violence within Pakistan.
The delegation warned that India’s pattern of unprovoked attacks could trigger nuclear escalation in South Asia. They reiterated Pakistan’s responsible but firm stance—stressing that while Pakistan seeks peace, it will defend its sovereignty at all costs. They called for international efforts to curb India’s destabilizing behavior.
Wrapping up the visit, the delegation urged the global community to support a fair resolution to the Jammu and Kashmir dispute in line with UN Security Council resolutions and the aspirations of the Kashmiri people. They demanded restoration of the Indus Waters Treaty and meaningful dialogue between India and Pakistan on all disputes. Pakistan reaffirmed its commitment to peaceful and respectful relations with neighbors—but vowed zero tolerance for aggression or international law violations.
