Pakistan has called for resolution of conflicts and disputes like Jammu and Kashmir to promote peace and security in the region.

Addressing a virtual session of Conference on Interaction and Confidence Building Measures in Asia, Pakistan's Permanent Representative to the UN Munir Akram said that Jammu and Kashmir dispute is a major threat for conflict between two nuclear states.

Munir Akram said we must continue to stand against unilateral coercive measures as well as any politicization of the United Nations Security Council sanctions architecture that undermines the principles and purposes of the UN Charter.

The Pakistani envoy said the Belt and Road initiative by China and the China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) are kind of connectivity projects that could contribute greatly to the promotion of economic and social development on the ground for our peoples.

Underscoring the need for equitable coronavirus vaccine distribution, Munir Akram called for ensuring right decisions in this regard.
