Attaullah Tarar says the prime minister highlighted climate justice, Pakistan’s clean energy leadership and water security at the COP31 Antalya Leaders’ Summit.
ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has concluded his visit to Türkiye after attending the COP31 Antalya Leaders’ Summit, where he highlighted the climate challenges facing developing countries, Pakistan’s clean energy initiatives and the importance of protecting water resources.
Information Minister Attaullah Tarar shared the development in a post on social media platform X, describing the prime minister’s visit as successful.
Tarar said Shehbaz gave a voice to millions of people across the developing world who contribute the least to climate change but suffer its most severe consequences.
He highlighted the issue of climate justice, emphasizing the disproportionate impact of global warming on developing countries despite their relatively smaller contribution to global emissions.
According to Tarar, the prime minister also showcased Pakistan’s leadership in clean energy during his participation in the international summit.
Another key issue raised by Shehbaz was water security. Tarar said the prime minister made it clear that water must never be weaponised, underscoring the importance of protecting water resources from being used as instruments of pressure or conflict.
The information minister also expressed gratitude to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and the people of Türkiye for successfully hosting COP31.
“Gratitude to H.E. President @RTErdogan and the people of Türkiye for hosting COP31 so successfully,” Tarar wrote.
The visit provided Pakistan with an international platform to highlight its position on climate change, renewable energy and water-related challenges.
Tarar concluded his message by expressing satisfaction over the prime minister’s participation in the summit and acknowledging Türkiye’s hospitality.
The post was accompanied by the Pakistan and Türkiye flag emojis and the hashtag COP31.
