Pakistan has strongly condemned Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia. The message was delivered at the United Nations on October 15. Ambassador Usman Jadoon spoke for Pakistan at a Security Council debate.
What Pakistan told the UN
Ambassador Jadoon is Pakistan’s Acting Permanent Representative to the UN. He addressed a debate on the Middle East situation. His speech focused on peace and security.
He said Pakistan condemns attacks on Saudi civilian sites. He called for an immediate halt to such strikes. The kingdom has the right to self-defence, he added.
Jadoon reaffirmed support for Saudi sovereignty and security. He said Pakistan stands firmly by the kingdom. The statement drew attention from many delegates.
Why the issue matters
The Houthis have targeted Saudi oil and civilian sites. Such attacks threaten the whole world economy. Oil prices rise with every new strike.
Saudi Arabia is home to Islam’s holiest sites. Attacks near them anger Muslims worldwide. Pakistan shares a special bond with the kingdom.
The UN debate covered the whole Middle East. Gaza, Yemen and Lebanon were all discussed. Pakistan’s voice carried weight as a major Muslim state.
Call to stop West Bank violence
Jadoon also spoke about the Palestine issue. He urged a halt to settler violence in the West Bank. Palestinian families face daily attacks, he said.
Pakistan has long backed the Palestinian cause. It wants a free state with Al-Quds as its capital. The ambassador repeated this demand clearly.
He called for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. Aid must reach the suffering people, he said. The world cannot stay silent, he warned.
Pakistan’s wider diplomacy
Pakistan is active at the UN these days. It speaks on Kashmir, Palestine and peacekeeping. Its diplomats push for dialogue over war.
The country also wants calm in its own region. Tensions with neighbours remain high. Peace abroad helps peace at home.
Experts say the speech fits Pakistan’s balanced policy. It backs its allies but seeks peace for all. Words at the UN shape how the world sees Pakistan.
Pakistan’s role at the UN
Pakistan is an active voice at the United Nations. It contributes troops to peace missions. Its soldiers serve in many troubled lands.
The country often speaks for Muslim causes. Kashmir and Palestine top its list. Its diplomats are known for firm and clear words.
This year Pakistan raised its profile further. It joined key debates on peace. The world listens when it speaks.
Reactions to the speech
Saudi delegates welcomed Pakistan’s words. They thanked the ambassador after the session. The two missions work closely in New York.
Other Muslim states also backed the call. Many share Pakistan’s worries. Attacks on holy lands unite them all.
Western delegates noted the balanced tone. Pakistan condemned attacks but urged peace. Such balance wins respect at the UN.
The road to peace
Experts say talks are the only way forward. Wars in Yemen and Gaza must end. Dialogue can save countless lives.
The UN plans more sessions on the region. Pakistan will keep taking part. Its voice for peace will stay loud.
For now, the speech sends a clear message. Pakistan wants calm, not conflict. The world must choose peace over war.
Pakistan plans to raise the issue again in coming sessions. Its diplomats are drafting a joint call with friendly states. The goal is a united voice for Middle East peace.
Back home, the foreign office praised the ambassador’s speech. It called it a true reflection of national policy. Pakistan will keep standing for justice at every forum.
The UN debate showed Pakistan’s clear and firm stance. It stands against attacks on civilians everywhere. Diplomacy remains its chosen path to peace.
