Information Minister Sherry Rehman on Tuesday said President Asif Ali Zardari would plead Pakistan's case at the United Nations and apprise the world community about the critical situation it was facing while tackling violent extremism.
In an informal chat with the Pakistani media here at the Press Centre set up for the media team covering President Asif Ali Zardari's address to the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), she said "the President will be addressing quite a few things" when he took up the floor at the world body.
"Asif Zardari has come here to fight Pakistan's case," she said, adding however that the president himself would spell out his vision in his address. Besides, she pointed, President Zardari would also discuss bilateral matters with the world leaders on the sidelines of the 63rd UN General Meeting.
Sherry Rehman said Pakistan wanted a broad-based, sustainable multi-lateral relationship with all the countries including US, covering all facets of their ties. The Information Minister, when asked about country's stance regarding US attacks within Pakistan's territory, said Pakistan had always asked US to "provide us actionable intelligence and we will act upon it."
Commenting on devastating suicidal attack on Marriott Hotel, she said it would be investigated from all possible angles. "The war on terror is Pakistan's own battle. When the writ of the government is challenged it has to be re-imposed," she said. Sherry said President Zardari would have meetings with world leaders on the sidelines of the UNGA summit, the primary focus of the multilateral event.
