He further tweeted that “probably most consequential event as foreign minister has been COP27 in Egypt. Shaken by Pakistan floods, worst natural disaster Pakistan has ever seen, for us climate change is not a problem of the future. CoP-27 endorsed Pakistan’s proposal as chair of G77 & China, to place ‘loss & damage’ on the agenda.

In monumental achievement for climate justice & G77 led by Pakistan. COP27 has successfully concluded with loss & damage as part of the agenda, including a fund & financial arrangements to address this issue. I congratulate Foreign Minister Shoukry, President at COP-27P hosting a historic COP. Pakistan leading & winning on the world stage. Win for climate justice, win for developing world in honor of 33 million victims of Pakistan Floods & millions around the world who suffer from a climate catastrophe they did not create & do not have resources to address loss and damage.”
