UNITED NATIONS, Sep. 23 (TNS):The Pakistan delegation will join a galaxy of leaders from around the globe when the U.N. General Assembly begins its annual debate to discuss issues of war and peace Tuesday at a time when the world continues to be afflicted by conflicts, violence and poverty.
\nForeign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi, who is scheduled to arrive in New York from Washington Sunday
\nnight, will lead the Pakistan delegation. It will be the new Pakistani government\u2019s first senior level interaction with the United Nations, which has been painstakingly organized by Ambassador Maleeha Lodhi and her team at the Pakistan Mission to the UN.
\nTalking to media, Ambassador Lodhi said, \u201cA hectic programme awaits the Foreign Minister who will attend several high-level events and hold close to two dozen bilateral meetings.\u201d \u201cThe highlight of his visit will of course be his speech in the General Assembly on 29 September in which he will set out the new government\u2019s priorities and its position and policy on key international and regional issue including the situation in occupied Jammu and Kashmir\u201d.
\nOn Friday, the 193-member assembly approved a heavy agenda for its 73rd session covering the full spectrum
\nof international issues, including sustainable development, climate change, peace and security, human rights, public health concerns and gender equality.
\nIn a press conference at UN Headquarters in New York last week, the Secretary-General said that with 128
\nworld leaders (84 Heads of State and 44 Heads of Government) taking part next week, it showed the UN was still \u201cthe world\u2019s indispensable forum for international cooperation.\u201d
\nTight security measures are being clamped around the United Nations complex on the banks of East River. Barricades are being erected, roads around the UN building are being closed and police presence boosted to protect the visiting dignitaries.

\nAt his press conference, the UN chief called for a \u201crenewed commitment to a rules-based global order\u201d and to the organization he leads.
\nHe cited challenges like the nuclear peril, climate change, and ongoing conflicts, and said, \u201cLet me note one overriding concern in our increasingly globalized era: multilateralism is under attack from many different directions precisely when we need it most.\u201d
\n\u201cI will use my meetings and other opportunities next week to press for renewed commitment to a rules-based global order and to the United Nations, the world\u2019s indispensable forum for international cooperation,\u201d Guterres added.
\nMeanwhile, Maria Fernanda Espinosa Garces, President-elect of the Assembly\u2019s 73rd session of the UN General Assembly announced last week that the theme of the general debate will be, \u201cMaking the United Nations Relevant to All People: Global Leadership and Shared Responsibilities for Peaceful, Equitable and Sustainable Societies.\u201d The list of speakers will be here.
\nOn Monday, 24 September, the UNGA will hold a high-level plenary meeting on global peace in honor of the centenary of the birth of Nelson Mandela, known as the Nelson Mandela Peace Summit. The plenary will adopt a political declaration negotiated by Member States.
