Pakistan has called for immediate renewed political dialogue and complete implementation of existing peace accords to restore stability in South Sudan, emphasizing the Security Council’s pivotal role in fostering sustainable peace.
Permanent Representative Ambassador Asim Iftikhar Ahmad made the appeal during a UN Security Council briefing on the situation in South Sudan, underscoring the urgent need for political commitment amid ongoing humanitarian and security challenges.
“Renewed political dialogue and full implementation of the peace agreement are essential to break the cycle of violence and displacement,” Ambassador Ahmad stated. He highlighted the international community’s responsibility to provide robust support, including resources for peacekeeping operations and addressing acute humanitarian needs affecting millions.
Pakistan, a consistent contributor to UN peacekeeping with over 600 troops serving in UNMISS (United Nations Mission in South Sudan), reaffirmed its dedication to the country’s unity and prosperity. Ambassador Ahmad stressed that external actors must prioritize inclusive processes to empower South Sudanese-led solutions.
