High-level diplomatic engagement between two UN member states has unfolded on the margins of the 81st United Nations General Assembly in New York, bringing top foreign policy leaders of Pakistan and Antigua and Barbuda together for bilateral discussions.
Senator Mohammad Ishaq Dar, who serves as both Pakistan’s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, sat down for the meeting with His Excellency E.P. Chet Greene, Antigua and Barbuda’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Barbuda Affairs. The gathering, which took place during the annual high-level week of the UN General Assembly, comes as part of the wide slate of bilateral negotiations that regularly occur between world leaders when they gather in New York for the global policy gathering. These sideline meetings have long served as key opportunities for nations of different sizes and regional backgrounds to strengthen bilateral ties, align on shared global priorities, and discuss areas of potential future cooperation outside the formal schedule of General Assembly debates.
