Civilians must be protected. Renewed fighting is causing deterioration of humanitarian situation. The offensive around Taiz and the attack by Houthi elements on Aden airport further underscore the vulnerability of civilian populations and essential infrastructure.
Safe, rapid and unhindered humanitarian access, protection of civilian infrastructure, and adequate funding for relief operations are indispensable. Food, fuel and essential commercial supplies must reach all those in need. We also reiterate our call for the immediate, unconditional and safe release of detained United Nations, humanitarian and diplomatic personnel.
My last statement as Permanent Representative of Pakistan to the UN that I delivered at the UN Security Council Monthly Briefing on Yemen
Pakistan strongly condemns the Houthi attacks against Saudi Arabia including the outrageous targeting of infrastructure in the Makkah Governorate and on the Taibah power distribution station in Madinah tul Munawwarah. Pakistan has also strongly condemned the Houthi terrorist attacks targeting King Khalid International Airport and Abha International Airport which resulted in loss of lives and injuries to civilians.
We call for an immediate end of such reckless attacks that constitute a grave threat to regional peace and security. The security and sanctity of the Two Holy Mosques must be respected at all times.
My last statement as Permanent Representative of Pakistan to the UN that I delivered at the UN Security Council Monthly Briefing on Yemen
Leaving for Islamabad tonight, having completed my tenure as Pakistan’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations.
There can be no greater honour or privilege than representing one’s homeland on the world stage. I am deeply grateful to my beloved mother, family, friends, and colleagues at the Mission for their unwavering support, prayers, and encouragement. I could not have fulfilled my responsibilities to the best of my ability without them.
I am humbled by the kind words and appreciation of colleagues across the UN, particularly in the Security Council, including the gracious remarks by the Council’s President today.
As I look forward to taking on my new responsibilities in Islamabad, I carry with me cherished memories, invaluable experiences, and a deep sense of gratitude for the opportunity to serve Pakistan at the United Nations.
One last picture with my colleagues this morning—a wonderful team with whom it has been an honour to serve

Yes. I think the Israeli govt response to the horrendous Oct 7 attacks has been massively disproportionate - for which I blame Netanyahu and hard-right headbangers like Ben Gvir and Smotrich who don’t seem to care about the damage they’re doing to Israel’s reputation.
As an Indian, I feel ashamed that the Indian Army falsely claimed to have eliminated Hashim Musa alias Mohammed Asif, the Pahalgam mastermind. DG ISPR has now presented him alive in a live press conference. It's obvious now - we killed our own people in Pahalgam and then put the blame on Pakistan.
