Referring to the current global environment, he said the world is facing numerous challenges that threaten peace and harmony, making inter-civilizational dialogue more important than ever. Highlighting Pakistan&rsquo;s historical and cultural heritage, the ambassador said the country&rsquo;s unique geographical position at the crossroads of the Middle East, South Asia, Central Asia, and the West has made it a meeting point of diverse civilizations and religions. He stressed that interfaith harmony, peaceful coexistence, pluralism, and cultural diversity are fundamental characteristics of Pakistani society and continue to shape the country&rsquo;s foreign policy approach. Pakistani envoy also noted that Pakistan, together with the Philippines, co-sponsored the UN General Assembly resolution on the promotion of interreligious and intercultural dialogue, understanding and cooperation for peace, which was adopted by consensus on May 20. Reaffirming Pakistan&rsquo;s commitment to multilateralism, he said the country would continue working closely with the United Nations and member states to advance dialogue among civilizations, cultures, and faiths in pursuit of global peace, stability, and prosperity.
