Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar will visit the United States next week to attend the high -level signature events in Pakistan’s UN Security Council (UNSC) Presidency in New York as well as for certain engagements in Washington.

In New York, as part of Pakistan’s Security Council Signature events, the Deputy Prime Minister is chairman of an open debate at a high level of “promoting international peace and security through multilateralism and peaceful settlement of disputes”.

“High -level debate aims to explore ways to strengthen multilateralism and by improving diplomacy and mediation for peace of disposal,” spokesman for the Foreign Office said in a press release on Saturday.

In addition, the Foreign Minister, chairman of the quarterly quarterly, will open debate on the Security Council on the “situation in the Middle East, including the Palestinian question”.

He will also be chairman of a high -level briefing by the UN Security Council, which will focus on improving cooperation between the UN and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC).

The meeting is held as part of Pakistan’s efforts to strengthen the cooperation between OIC and the UN for the maintenance of international peace and security.

In order to express Pakistan’s strong commitment and unshakable support for the right to self-determine the Palestinian people, Dar will also attend the high-level conference on the “peaceful settlement of the question of Palestine and the implementation of two-state solution”.

During his stay in New York, he is also expected to have more bilateral commitments with his colleagues as well as senior UN officials.

“DAR’s visit to New York and Washington exemplifies Pakistan’s growing role and importance in the multilateral arena as well as its expanding multifaceted relations with the United States,” the statement states.

“Pakistan’s high-level participation in the UN Security Council’s quarterly debate on the Middle East as well as the international conference on the peaceful settlement of the issue of Palestine and the implementation of two-state solutions is also a testimony to Pakistan’s ignorant obligation and support for the Palestinian case,” it concluded.

The visit came weeks after Pakistan formally recommended US President Donald Trump in 2026 the Nobel Peace Prize, referring to his role in drafting tensions between Pakistan and India earlier this year.

A letter of recommendation signed by DPM DAR was sent to the Nobel Committee in Norway.

According to the government, the move recognizes President Trump’s efforts to create a ceasefire between the two nuclear armed neighbors and to highlight the Kashmir venue on the international stage.
