Pakistan gets the command of the United Nations Security Council, these two important issues will be discussed in July
Islamabad: Pakistan has assumed the presidency of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) from Tuesday, July 1, 2025. This responsibility is part of Pakistan's two-year term elected as a temporary member of the Council for 2025-26. Pakistan was elected a temporary member in January this year with an overwhelming support of 182 out of 193 votes. The presidency of the Council rotates every month among its 15 member countries in alphabetical order.
Pakistan's Foreign Ministry issued a statement saying that it will fulfill this responsibility with "purpose, humility and conviction". Pakistan's approach will be based on the Charter of the United Nations, respect for international law and firm commitment to multilateralism.
Pakistan will host two big events
Pakistan has planned two important events in the month of July. First, an open debate on "Promoting international peace and security through multilateralism and peaceful resolution of disputes" will be held on July 22. Second, a briefing on "Cooperation between the United Nations and regional and sub-regional organisations: Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC)" will be held on July 24. Both these meetings will be chaired by Pakistan's Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Mohammad Ishaq Dar.
Pakistan's chairmanship will be transparent, inclusive and accountable, said Pakistani envoy Asim Iftikhar Ahmed. He also added that Pakistan is committed to promoting dialogue and diplomacy for global peace and security, which takes shape from its long contribution to peacekeeping and peacebuilding.
India's concerns and regional tensions
With the start of Pakistan's chairmanship, India has highlighted Islamabad's terrorism-related activities on the international platform. India has recently accused Pakistan of promoting cross-border terrorism, citing the Pahalgam massacre. In addition, India has raised concerns over Pakistan's chairmanship of the Taliban Sanctions Committee and its role as vice-chairman of the Counter-Terrorism Committee, as Pakistan is considered a haven for several UN-designated terrorists.
This chairmanship of Pakistan is its first since 2013, and reflects its diplomatic activism on the global stage. However, regional tensions and ongoing disputes with India could complicate its role.
