Description
On July 1, 2025, Pakistan officially assumed the rotating presidency of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) for the month of July a significant responsibility that places the country at the forefront of key global peace and security deliberations.
The presidency of the UNSC rotates monthly among its 15 members, providing each with an equal opportunity to steer the Council’s agenda and proceedings. As President for July, Pakistan will lead the Council’s meetings, organize thematic discussions, and guide diplomatic engagement on pressing international issues.
Commitment To Peace, Multilateralism, And Fairness
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Pakistan expressed the nation’s resolve to approach this role with purpose, humility, and dedication. Emphasizing its commitment to the principles of the UN Charter, Pakistan reaffirmed its support for international law, dialogue-based diplomacy, and multilateral cooperation.
Pakistan’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Ambassador Asim Iftikhar Ahmad, will preside over the Security Council’s sessions throughout the month. He underlined Pakistan’s intention to lead with transparency, inclusiveness, and responsiveness, stressing the importance of unity and collective action in addressing today’s global challenges including armed conflicts, humanitarian crises, and threats to international peace.
A Trusted Voice At Table
Pakistan began its current two-year term as a non-permanent member of the Security Council in January 2025, having secured 182 out of 193 votes in the General Assembly a strong endorsement from the international community. This presidency marks a continuation of Pakistan’s long-standing engagement with the UNSC, as it has served multiple terms since first joining the Council in 1952.
Agenda For July 2025: High-Level Dialogues And Global Peace
As President, Pakistan has outlined a series of high-level events aimed at fostering dialogue and promoting peaceful conflict resolution. The three major thematic discussions scheduled for the month are:
July 22: Promoting Peace and Security through Multilateralism and Peaceful Conflict Resolution this event will focus on how nations can resolve disputes cooperatively without resorting to violence.
July 23: The Question of Palestine a special session dedicated to the longstanding Israeli-Palestinian issue, reflecting Pakistan’s consistent advocacy for the rights of the Palestinian people.
July 24: UN Cooperation with Regional Organizations, including the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) this meeting will explore how the UN can collaborate more effectively with regional and multilateral institutions to enhance global peace initiatives.
All three events will be chaired by Ishaq Dar, Pakistan’s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, who will represent Pakistan’s position and facilitate diplomatic discussions among member states.
A Legacy Of Peacekeeping And Diplomacy
Pakistan is one of the most active contributors to UN peacekeeping missions, with thousands of its military personnel having served in conflict zones worldwide to uphold peace and protect civilians. This long history reflects its broader commitment to the United Nations’ mission.
Throughout its UNSC tenure, Pakistan has consistently championed the principles of dialogue, diplomacy, and peaceful resolution of disputes. As Council President, it aims to continue that legacy by fostering collaboration and consensus among member nations.
Looking Ahead: Leadership With Responsibility
Pakistan’s presidency of the Security Council underscores its growing role as a responsible and engaged global actor. The position offers the country a unique platform to influence international security decisions and encourage cooperative efforts to tackle complex global challenges.
As the world faces an increasingly fragile geopolitical landscape, Pakistan’s leadership at the UNSC during July 2025 serves as a pivotal opportunity to promote peace, stability, and multilateral solutions not just regionally, but globally.
