At the United Nations, Pakistan has reaffirmed its commitment to the Global Compact on Refugees.

This was stated by Pakistan's Deputy Permanent Representative to the United nations, Ambassador Aamir Khan in his remarks to the General Assembly’s Third Committee, which deals with social, humanitarian and cultural matters.

Pakistan told a UN panel about its unparalleled hospitality in hosting Afghan refugees for four decades while adhering to the highest standards of protection, which continued during the pandemic.

He said prevailing complex and multifold challenges demand more robust and collective efforts to meet the growing protection needs and to forge durable solutions.

The Pakistani envoy said Pakistan has also supported complex humanitarian efforts in Afghanistan, facilitating evacuations as well as providing food and other supplies.
