ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s Caretaker Prime Minister Anwaar-ul-Haq Kakar said on Sunday that Pakistan has been a strong voice and a proactive advocate for climate finance for developing nations.
In an interview with Arab media on Sunday, he said that Pakistan advocated loss and damage fund in COP27 to help the developing states in facing the climate challenges in terms of mitigation and risk reduction.
He said the operationalization of the Loss and Damage Fund by the announcement of $30 billion by the UAE is a good start in the right direction.
Talking about the Israeli aggression, the prime minister said that senseless violence perpetrated by Israel should immediately be stopped. He said that the Israeli violence could engulf the whole region if not stopped. The creation of a humanitarian corridor is the most important thing that must be allowed.
To another query, he said that Pakistan wanted an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital.

Talking about the repatriation process of Afghan refugees, PM Kakar said that it is our duty to regulate movement through documentation. Pakistan has hosted Afghan Refugees for fifty years, and there are around 1 million undocumented Afghan immigrants in Pakistan.
To a query about Pak-Indo relations, the Prime Minister said we have a core issue of Kashmir with India, which is unresolved. We need to resolve this issue according to the UNSC resolutions.
