According to respected Professor Noam Chomsky, mankind is at even a greater risk than it was before the First and Second World Wars in the last century because of the increased threat of nuclear war, Climate Change, and sadly the rise of authoritarian regimes. We must come together to prevent such a catastrophe. We believe the driving force in international relations must be cooperation, in accordance with principles of international law, and not confrontation and force. We all must emphatically reaffirm our support for multilateralism. Mr. President, The COVID-19 pandemic has illustrated the oneness of humanity. In our interconnected world, no one is safe unless everyone is safe. Locking down to control the pandemic has triggered the worst recession since the GreatDepression in the last Century. This has hit the poorest countries the hardest as well as the poor in all the countries. In Pakistan, we realized very early on that if we imposed a strict lockdown, the type that several affluent countries had imposed, we would have more people dying of hunger than the virus.
