PM Shehbaz Sharif to Attend Arab Islamic Summit and COP29

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif is set to participate in two high-profile international events this month: the Arab Islamic Summit in Riyadh and the 29th United Nations Climate Change Conference, known as COP29. At the Arab Islamic Summit, PM Shehbaz aims to strengthen Pakistan’s ties with the Muslim world and discuss issues affecting Islamic nations, including economic collaboration, energy challenges, and regional security concerns.

The summit, which will bring together leaders from numerous Muslim-majority countries, provides a unique platform for Pakistan to voice its concerns about issues like Palestine, Islamophobia, and regional tensions. Pakistan is expected to advocate for unity and increased cooperation among member states to address shared challenges. These discussions are seen as crucial for enhancing Pakistan’s role on the international stage and its relations within the Muslim world.

PM Shehbaz’s attendance at COP29 underscores Pakistan’s ongoing commitment to tackling climate change, a critical issue that disproportionately affects countries like Pakistan. As a developing nation frequently hit by climate disasters, Pakistan will call for increased support from developed nations. The PM is expected to emphasize the urgent need for climate financing, adaptation strategies, and fair distribution of resources. Pakistan’s active participation in these events reflects its dedication to addressing both regional and global challenges.
