“If elected to the Council, Pakistan will continue its efforts in the same vein to promote a peaceful and equitable world order that responds to the needs and priorities of all nations,” the Pakistani envoy said in presenting Islamabad’s vision and priorities as a Security Council member. Pakistan has served on the Council seven times in the past, once in every decade starting from the 1950s, with the last term in 2012-2013. The Security Council is currently composed of five permanent members — Britain, China, France, Russia and the United States — and 10 non-permanent members elected to serve for two years. “Pakistan believes it can contribute effectively to enable the Security Council to discharge its mandate for the maintenance of international peace and security,” Ambassador Jadoon said. He expressed gratitude to the Asia-Pacific Group for endorsing Pakistan’s candidacy and sought the cooperation of all Member States in supporting Pakistan’s candidacy.
