Pakistan elected President of UN's International Development Law Organization

ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – In welcome news on the diplomatic front, Pakistan has been elected President of International Development Law Organization (IDLO), which is affiliated with the United Nations (UN).

Pakistan will head the IDLO for a period of three years, starting from January 2021. Pakistan’s Ambassador to Italy Johar Saleem will represent the country in the International Organization.

The International Development Law Organization (IDLO) provides assistance in areas including justice, economy, health, food and human rights on international level.

Pakistan’s Ambassador to Italy Johar Saleem in his statement said that Pakistan’s election as IDLO President is a welcome news and trumps India’s anti-Pakistan narrative at the diplomatic level. The Ambassador also thanked the IDLO members for entrusting Pakistan with this responsibility.
