President Asif Ali Zardari has reached New York to attend the 67th session of the United Nations General Assembly. The president will address the 193-member UNGA today (Tuesday).
During his four-day visit, President Zardari will hold meetings with US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, British Prime Minister David Cameron, Chinese Foreign Minister Yaung Gi Che and Nato Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen.
The president will also address a ceremony regarding polio eradication organised by the United Nations and the Bill Gates Foundation. The session will be presided over by United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon.
Pakistan’s religious, political, social and common circles have expressed the hope that President Zardari will represent the real sentiments of Pakistanis and Muslims of the world against the sacrilegious film in his address to the UNGA. In this regard, all small and large religious parties of the country have urged President Zardari to adopt a bold stance.
