ISLAMABAD: Amid escalating tensions between Pakistan and India, a high-level diplomatic mission led by former Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari will depart for the United States on June 2, tasked with presenting Pakistan’s stance on the unfolding crisis to the international community.
Formed on the directive of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, the delegation’s visit comes at a critical juncture, as border clashes and rising political hostilities threaten regional stability in South Asia.
According to diplomatic sources, the mission will begin in New York, where the delegation will hold a pivotal meeting with the United Nations Secretary-General. The agenda includes discussions on the deteriorating security landscape, human rights concerns, and the urgent need for international intervention to prevent further escalation.
Following the UN engagement, the delegation will proceed to Washington, D.C., where meetings are scheduled with senior officials of the Trump administration, members of the U.S. Congress, leading think tanks, and media organizations. The delegation aims to articulate Pakistan’s narrative surrounding the Indo-Pak conflict, highlighting its perspective on the causes of the current confrontation and calling for global mediation to restore peace and stability in the region.
The visit is seen as part of a broader diplomatic push to counter India’s narrative on the world stage and to rally international support for dialogue and de-escalation.
Officials describe the mission as “critical to shaping international perception” and ensuring that Pakistan’s voice is heard in the global discourse surrounding the Indo-Pak conflict.
