Asian Group endorses Pakistan for UNSC non-permanent seat

UNITED NATIONS, Jun 22 (APP):Pakistan has won the unanimous endorsement of the Asia Pacific Group for its candidature for a non-permanent seat on the UN Security Council for the term 2025-2026, with top Pakistani officials pledging to uphold the world body’s Charter.

Thanking the 55-member group for the support and confidence, Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said in a tweet Pakistan was determined to make its contributions while upholding the principles of UN Charter.

Pakistan will now be seeking election as this region’s endorsed candidate. The election for the seat will be held by the General Assembly in June 2024 in New York.

“The unanimous support of the Asia-Pacific Group for Pakistan’s Security Council candidature reflects the general
recognition in the international community, including in the Asia-Pacific region, of Pakistan’s positive role in upholding the fundamental purposes and principles of the UN Charter,” the Pakistan envoy said in an interview with APP.

Meanwhile, diplomats said that more than 20 countries made statements in the Asia Pacific Group meeting strongly supporting Pakistan’s candidature.

They include Bahrain, China, Indonesia, Iran, Japan, Jordan, Kiribati, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Kyrgyzstan, Lao People’s Democratic Republic, Lebanon, Malaysia, Papua Guinea, Qatar, Singapore, Syria, Tajikistan, Thailand, the United Arab Emirates, Uzbekistan, Yemen.

The ambassadors of China, Iran, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and other delegates applauded Pakistan’s commitment to peace, security, development and global cooperation.

Pakistan has been elected seven times to the UN Security Council, with the most recent term in 2013. Other occasions were in 1952-1953, 1968-1969, 1976-1977, 1983-1984, 1993-1994 and 2003-2004.
