FM Bilawal Bhutto Zardari urges world to stay engaged with Afghanistan

WASHINGTON: Foreign Minister (FM) Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has opposed freezing assets of Afghanistan and urged the world to stay engaged with the Taliban-led Kabul government.

Addressing a press conference at the Pakistani Consulate in Washington, FM Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said he has presented Pakistan’s clear stance before the United States (US) regarding freezing Afghanistan’s assets.

“Today, assets of Afghanistan have been frozen, tomorrow it might be another country or Pakistan,” Bilawal said.

Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari said that his purpose for visiting the US was to help the flood victims in Pakistan. “The top priority is to aid flood victims; politics is a distant second. Nothing that we do for the flood evacuees is adequate.”

FM Bilawal Bhutto said the United Nations Secretary-General put the flood issue on top of the agenda during the UN session. He expressed gratitude to the world community for the help they offered to Pakistan for the flood victims.

Bilawal said Pakistan faces shortage of food as crops have been destroyed by floods. Pakistan faced massive flooding right after the country inked an agreement with the IMF, he said.

FM Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said the ten biggest countries affected by climate change will have to raise their voices together. He proposed to the world to work together as it is the only solution to the climate change problem.

“It would be unfair if Asad Majid [Pakistan’s ex-envoy to the US when the cipher was delivered] was penalised for a wrong committed by Imran Khan,” he said commenting on the cypher issue.

Pakistan floods: South Asia’s monsoon explained

Floods in Pakistan have killed more than 1,000 people after what its climate change minister called a record unbroken cycle of monsoon rains with “8 weeks of non-stop torrents”. AFP explains what the monsoon is, why it is so important and yet so dangerous, and how climate change and other man-made effects may be altering the vast life-giving but destructive annual weather system. What is the South Asian monsoon? The Southwest or the Asian Summer Monsoon is essentially a colossal sea breeze that brings South Asia 70-80 percent of its annual rainfall between June and September every year. It occurs when summer heat warms the landmass of the subcontinent, causing the air to rise and sucking in cooler Indian Ocean winds which then produce enormous volumes of rain. Why it is important? The monsoon is vital for agriculture and therefore for the livelihoods of millions of farmers and for food security in the poor region of around two billion people. But it brings destruction every ye...
