He felt puzzled at the cacophony over Pakistan not being invited to attend the ‘Virtual Leaders Summit on Climate.’

US president Joe Biden is hosting the summit on April 22-23.

While registering his reaction, the prime minister posted a number of tweets.

He further highlighted his government’s initiatives over the climate change and environmental protection.

The PM seems to be lamenting the cacophony over Pak (Pakistan) not being invited to a climate change conf (Conference)!

According to a statement of the White House, US president Biden had invited 40 world leaders to the summit on climate.

However, those invitees excluded Pakistan despite the fact the government of Pakistan has been spearheading a robust climate drive.

Meanwhile,  Pakistan has launched mega initiatives which the UN and other global bodies have appreciated.

The PM cited these initiatives. They include Green Pakistan, 10 billion Tree Tsunami, nature based solutions and cleaning up rivers etc.

Moreover, he said that he had already laid out priorities for the UN Climate Change Conference 2021 – COP26 – if the international community stays serious about countering impact of climate change.

Furthermore, the prime minister also expressed willingness to help any state wanting to learn from Pakistan’ s experience.
