My farewell at the Permanent Mission of Pakistan to the UN: I am carrying with me: invaluable learning, beautiful memories, and a profound sense of gratitude. Experiences that enriched me, challenges and opportunities that transformed me, and memories to cherish forever! Proud to serve Pakistan!

Grateful to Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif @CMShehbaz for his kind words of appreciation and encouragement. Will always continue to serve Pakistan with dedication and commitment!

India’s false narratives and disinformation could not hide the crushing defeat it suffered at Pakistan’s hands during Marka-e-Haq in May 2025. It is well recognized by the international community that India lost more than a military conflict; it lost its credibility forever. Today India can no longer import sympathy as it stands exposed in front of the world.

Right of Reply to India: Let me present the extraordinary balance sheet of today’s incredibly intolerant India. It exports terrorism and violence while trying to import victimhood and sympathy.

Grateful to PR Amb Asim for his guidance, support and for the opportunity to lead the process. Assistive technology transformed my life and I hope this resolution helps make that transformation possible for millions around the world, leaving no one behind.

Proud that this landmark UNGA resolution on Access to Assistive Technology, adopted today, was drafted and negotiated by Counsellor Ms. Saima Saleem, Pakistan’s first visually impaired career diplomat, who is herself a user of this technology.

This is a powerful reminder that when lived experience informs diplomacy, it can help shape global action that transforms lives and expands opportunities for millions of people who might otherwise risk being left behind.

Together, we can bring about meaningful change and improve lives.
