PM calls plight of Gaza Muslims ‘open mockery’ of global alliance

Islamabad: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said that the sufferings of the Muslims of Gaza are an open mockery of the international community.

While addressing a virtual meeting of the United Nations Summit of the Future, the Prime Minister stated that there is a risk of dividing the world due to new global challenges and increasing tensions. Equality and justice are necessary to unite the world. The suffering of the Muslims of Gaza is an open mockery of global unity. This collectivity is being mocked in the plight of the people of Gaza.

He added that debt piles on economically weak countries, increase in poverty, economic division, intolerance, terrorism, illegal occupation and lack of seriousness on climate change are obstacles to global unity.

Shehbaz Sharif further said that reforms of the global economic structure are necessary to achieve the goals of sustainable development. The global economy has to think about modern methods of development investment. ‘We also need to protect the world from the misuse of technology’. Injustice and inequality provide opportunities for exploitation by evil elements at local and international levels.

He continued to say that the nations burdened by climate change and debt are the most affected by the challenges of terrorism and misinformation.

UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres also addressed the meeting along with the leaders of various countries.
