Pakistan’s statement on Peacebuilding and Sustaining Peace, #unga , June 25 2026

As one of the largest troop-contributing countries to UN peace operations, and a founding member of the Peacebuilding Commission, Pakistan has witnessed first-hand the importance of linking security gains with institution-building, reconciliation, and socio-economic recovery. After all, it was this inextricable link between peace and development, and the need for a comprehensive approach, addressing the root causes that led to the establishment of the Commission and the Fund. We must remain focused on that central purpose: helping countries prevent conflict, sustain peace, and avoid relapse. Pakistan will continue working with all Member States to advance this shared objective. Statement by Ambassador Asim Iftikhar Ahmad, Permanent Representative of Pakistan to the UN, at the UN General Assembly Debate on Peacebuilding and Sustaining Peace. June 25 2026
