Pakistan pledges to help build a more just and prosperous world.

United Nation – (Special Correspondent / Web Desk)- Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Senator Mohammad Ishaq Dar underlined Pakistan’s commitment to contributing to the creation of a “just and prosperous” world on United Nations Day.

UN Day commemorates the anniversary of the UN Charter’s entry into force in 1945.  This year marks the 80th anniversary of the United Nations and its Charter.

In a statement issued by the Foreign Office (FO), Dar underlined Pakistan’s unwavering commitment to multilateralism alongside the international community.

“We believe the UN, as the world’s most representative multilateral institution, remains uniquely placed to address shared global challenges, including grave threats to international peace and security, [the] worst humanitarian crises, persistent development gaps, and the existential climate crisis,” he told reporters.

Dar added that Pakistan’s foreign policy was firmly rooted in the UN Charter’s principles: the sovereign equality of states, non-interference, the right to self-determination, and the peaceful settlement of disputes, according to the Quaid-i-Azam’s vision.

“Our history reflects a consistent preference for diplomacy over confrontation, engagement over isolation, and partnership over polarisation,” he said.

According to the foreign minister, the country’s commitment to multilateralism is demonstrated through decades of active engagement with the UN system.

He noted that Pakistan has been a top troop contributor to UN peacekeeping operations since 1960, and that it hosts the United Nations Military Observer Group in India and Pakistan (UNMOGIP), one of the oldest peacekeeping missions.
Dar stated that the charter affirmed “our collective resolve to uphold international law and self-determination”. However, he stated that these values were not universally respected, citing occupied Kashmir and Gaza.
“Regrettably, these ideals continue to be violated with impunity, most egregiously in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir and Palestine,” according to him.

“India’s violent repression continues to deny the Kashmiri people’s legitimate aspirations for self-determination, which are supported by relevant UN Security Council (UNSC) resolutions.

“Similarly, Gaza has become a graveyard for our shared humanity and global conscience,” he added.

He said that Pakistan remained dedicated to playing its role in building a “more peaceful, just, and prosperous world” as a non-permanent member of the UNSC for 2025-26.

He highlighted the country’s reputation as a consensus builder, pointing out its presidency of the UNSC in July of this year. He added that its “active role” in promoting UN charter principles “enables us to work towards outcomes that reflect the aspirations and priorities of the wider UN membership”.

He reiterated that Pakistan “stands ready to work with fellow UN member states and with the United Nations system to reinvigorate the UN charter’s promise to pursue peace, development and human dignity for all”.
