New York, August 26, 2025, 03:36 AM PKT – Pakistan Pledges Support for Rohingya at UN High-Level Conference
Pakistan has pledged humanitarian and diplomatic support for the Rohingya at a UN high-level conference on September 30, 2025, building on the UN’s call for solidarity eight years after their mass exodus from Myanmar.
The commitment was announced on August 25, 2025, to address the ongoing crisis affecting over one million refugees in Bangladesh.
Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar, speaking at a preparatory UN session, emphasized Pakistan’s role in advocating for the Rohingya’s safe return. “Their plight demands global action,” Dar told NEN, citing the 2017 military crackdown in Rakhine State that displaced 750,000 Rohingya (web:0, post:0, post:4). Pakistan will push for increased funding for Cox’s Bazar camps, where conditions have worsened due to violence and funding cuts (web:0, post:5).
