February 17, 2021

At the United Nations, Pakistan has opposed the addition of new permanent members to the UN Security Council saying it will compound the Council’s inequality and dysfunctionality.

Addressing a meeting of Inter-Governmental Negotiations Framework, Pakistan's permanent Representative to the United Nations Ambassador Munir Akram reiterated Pakistan's principled stance on restructuring the Security Council by expansion in the non-permanent category so that the ideal of a comprehensive reform can be met.

Munir Akram said progress in reform process can be made only through consultations, mutual accommodation and innovative compromise not by bullying and coercion.
