In a video statement at the High-Level Commemorative Meeting, he reiterated this pledge.

Notably, Siberia hosted the event to mark the 60th Anniversary of NA.

Qureshi further said those principles remain as relevant today as they remained 60 years ago.

Meanwhile, the FM also expressed concern over the resurgence of great powers’ tensions and a renewed global arms race.

He urged for renunciation of anachronistic Cold War concepts of strategic competition, military alliances, global or regional dominance, foreign intervention and occupation.

Moreover, he noted NAM’s principled support for the right of self-determination of people living under foreign occupation.

Then, he highlighted the situation in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir and Palestine where India is denying this right.

He called upon NAM and international community to secure a just, peaceful and expeditious resolution of these long-standing disputes, in accordance with the UNSC resolutions and aspirations of local people.

The Foreign Minister also shared Pakistan’s perspective on contemporary global issues such as COVID-19 pandemic and climate change.
