Our partnership with Africa is longstanding, deep-rooted, and wide ranging. Pakistan’s peacekeepers have served with distinction across the African continent contributing to UN’s peacekeeping and peacebuilding efforts. We firmly believe that durable solutions entail national ownership, coordinated regional response and constructive international engagement and support. In this vein, discussions in the Council could be more productive if there were enhanced participation by the countries of the region and the regional and sub-regional organisations.
Statement by Ambassador Asim Iftikhar Ahmad, Permanent Representative of Pakistan to the UN, at the UNSC briefing on United Nations Office for West Africa and the Sahel (UNOWAS) July 14 2026
