PM Shehbaz Lauds Switzerland For Assistance In Tackling Climate Change
Premier Shehbaz Sharif urged Switzerland to act as a catalyst to promote peace, saying that Pakistan could not afford regional conflict and would not want to waste its resources.

In Nathiagali, the prime minister spoke at a ceremony marking the signing of an agreement between Pakistan and Switzerland on disaster management.

He described the incident as a crucial milestone that would foster collaboration between the two countries to use technology and skills to confront the natural disaster together in the future.

PM Shehbaz Sharif stated that they were eagerly anticipating Swiss assistance in obtaining an early warning system and other technology to protect Pakistan as much as possible from natural calamities.

He emphasized that despite Pakistan having extremely minimal carbon footprints, the country is experiencing the effects of global climate change.

PM Shehbaz Sharif expressed appreciation for the words made by the Swiss foreign minister about the calm in the area and stated that Switzerland might act as a catalyst to further the peace in the region.

"Until their issues, including Kashmir, were resolved," he said, "there could be no lasting peace in this part of the world."

According to PM Shehbaz, Pakistan likes to encourage development and prosperity, end unemployment and poverty, and improve industries like education, IT, and agriculture for the benefit of its citizens.

According to Ignazio Cassis, signing the MoU between the two nations is essential for cooperation in the fight against climate change.

He said that although Pakistan had a rich cultural history and beautiful landscapes, it had also grown more vulnerable to natural calamities, which led to flooding last year and widespread devastation.

The Swiss minister claimed that in order to reduce the dangers brought on by natural calamities, immediate international collaboration was essential.

He reiterated his commitment to further solidify the bilateral connections and to combine their resources in this area while extending the help of his administration in this respect.

He went on to emphasize the cooperation between the two nations during the years 2010 and 2022 when Pakistan was afflicted by terrible floods, saying that the Swiss government quickly dispatched emergency relief and gave assistance to the affected citizens.
