Pakistan’s diplomatic skills will be tested this week when the European countries will put to vote a resolution against Russia at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA). Diplomatic sources told The Express Tribune that Pakistan was approached by the US and other western countries to seek support in favour of the resolution. In order to address the concerns of countries, the European countries, in their draft resolution, did talk about the resolution of conflict through dialogue. Like Pakistan, India is also facing the dilemma of voting against Russia or abstaining from it. To pass the resolution, the sponsors will need a two-thirds majority of countries present and voting "yes."
