“Our world is more complex today than ever,” Sharif said, citing intensifying conflicts, violations of international law and a climate crisis that “threatens our survival.”
Multilateralism, he argued, “it was no more option, it is the need for the time.”
Prime Minister Sharif said his country faced “unprovoked aggression” by India earlier this year.
Pakistan’s armed forces had repelled the attack with “impressive professionalism, courage and insight”, demolishing several Indian planes, he added. He praised the president of the United States, Donald Trump, for helping to ensure a high fire.
Dialogue with India
At the same time, Mr. Sharif also offered dialogue.
“Pakistan is ready for a composite, comprehensive and oriented dialogue oriented with India in all pending issues,” he said, warning that coffee disputes and water resources remained volatile.
The alleged suspension of India of the Indo Water Treaty, he added, “represents an act of war.”
Mr. Sharif promised support for Kashmir, saying that Pakistan “would arbitantly defend his rights and reiterated the calls to a non -supervised plebiscite.
“One day soon, Inshallah (anyone who is willing to God), the tyranny of India in Kashmir will stop. They will gain their fundamental right to self -determination through an impartial plebiscite under the auspices of the United Nations,” he said.
Call Alto El Fuego in Gaza
In the Middle East, the Pakistani leader condemned what he called Israel’s “genocidal attack” in Gaza, describing the difficult situation of Palestinian children as “one of the most torn tragedies of our times.”
He asked for immediate fire and reaffirmed the support of Pakistan for an independent Palestinian state within the borders prior to 1967, with Jerusalem as its capital.
“Palestine can no longer remain under Israeli shackles. It must be released,” he said.
The Pakistani leader also addressed broader global problems, including the continuous invasion of Ukraine of Russia, where he expressed support for a peaceful resolution in line with the UN letter.
On terrorism, he recalled the sacrifices of Pakistan, saying that the country had lost 90,000 lives and $ 150 billion due to extremist violence for two decades.
Mr. Sharif also described climate change as an existential challenge, pointing to recent catastrophic floods that moved millions and caused tens of billions in losses. Despite being responsible for “less than one percent of global emissions.”
Pakistan was having a disproportionate charge, he said, describing it “no equity or equality, no justice.”
Closing his direction, Mr. Sharif promised Pakistan would continue to represent the “peace, justice and development” through multilateral cooperation.
“Let this 80th anniversary not only commemorate the story,” he said. “Let’s make history and we draw a future for the next eight years, with these United Nations as a lasting hope to seek global good.”
