Warning of a looming humanitarian crisis, Prime Minister Imran Khan Friday said a “destabilized, chaotic Afghanistan” could again emerge as a safe haven for international terrorists and called for measures to strengthen and stabilize its current government for the “people of Afghanistan.”
Addressing the 76th session of the United Nations General Assembly, the Prime Minister said a huge humanitarian crisis was looming ahead which could have serious repercussions not just for the neighbours of Afghanistan but everywhere.
“This is a critical time for Afghanistan … You cannot waste time. Help is needed there. Humanitarian assistance has to be given there immediately,” Prime Minister Imran Khan told the gathering of leaders.
In a pre-recorded video address, the Prime Minister spoke at length about the major global issues including; Afghanistan, gross human rights violations in the Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir, “hate-filled ‘Hindutva’ ideology,” Islamophobia, Climate Change and Corruption.
The United States had requested member states to send pre-recorded messages as a preventive measure against the spread of coronavirus. However, 83 heads of state, 43 prime ministers, three deputy prime ministers and 23 foreign ministers are addressing the General Assembly in person.
