At the United Nations, Pakistan has called for political inclusivity and representative governance in Syria following the overthrow of the Assad regime.

Pakistan's Permanent Representative to the United Nations Munir Akram, speaking at Security Council said the recent political developments offer the opportunity to restore normalcy, stability and peace in Syria.

He said the international community and this Council must address the danger of terrorism within and from Syria, especially in the still unsettled parts of the country.

Munir Akram also urged the international community to help the new Syrian authorities to revive institutions and implement plans for the early reconstruction of their devastated country.

He underscored the need for dealing with Syria’s massive humanitarian crisis immediately and unconditionally.
