The Foreign Minister said the international community should know that any confrontation between two nuclear powers, Pakistan and India, will pose a serious threat to global peace.

About Afghanistan, FM Qureshi added that peace in Afghanistan and regional stability will remain under threat if the world does not pay any heed to the situation in South Asia.

Further discussing the ongoing pandemic situation, the Foreign Minister stressed the need for collective and global efforts to protect humanity by ensuring the availability of necessary medical equipment, vaccine, and financial support to all, especially the poor countries.
