UNITED NATIONS, Oct 29 (APP): Pakistan has called for bolstered cooperation between the United Nations and regional and subregional organizations for facilitating peaceful resolution of outstanding disputes and to respond to the emerging threats to international peace and security. “Closer political interaction among regional countries can also serve to address the security dimensions of these challenges,” Ambassador Maleha Lodhi told the UN Security Council on Friday. Speaking in a debate on cooperation between the U.N. and regional and subregional organizations in maintaining international peace and security, she said, “Our multipolar world is more free and vibrant, yet more chaotic and turbulent,” Poverty remained widespread, xenophobia was on the rise, violations of human rights were rampant, situations of foreign occupation persisted, violent extremism and terrorism have assumed dangerous new forms and the global refugee crisis had acquired unprecedented proportions.
