According to the 24News HD TV channel, PM Shehbaz addressed a ceremony organized in Islamabad to pay tributes to all stakeholders including international partners for successful climate diplomacy at the Sharm-al-Sheikh Climate Summit.
Shehbaz Sharif appreciated the role of Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, Climate Change Minister Sherry Rehman, Information Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb, and other government departments that worked continuously for making the world believe that we are seeking climate justice, not charity.
The PM said they also made the world realize that what has happened to Pakistan can happen with any other nation.
PM Shehbaz expressed deep gratitude to all those countries that came to help Pakistan with cash and kind during recent devastating floods. The Prime Minister said the contribution of all the friendly countries was most valuable in this hour of need.
