In a tweet on Wednesday, he said, “When I talked to world leaders outside of the UNGA session, I told them about the flood disaster and stressed the need for everyone to work together to deal with climate change.”

He kept saying that Pakistan wants to work with the rest of the world in the areas of trade and economy.

In an interview with a private TV station, PM Shehbaz asked the rest of the world to do more than just show sympathy for Pakistan’s flood victims by helping to rebuild and repair the areas that were damaged.

In his speech to the 193-member assembly on September 23, PM Shehbaz will also talk about the floods in Pakistan.

In the middle of his busy schedule, he led a virtual meeting with the federal cabinet to talk about and review the relief and recovery efforts in Pakistan. He also made urgent plans to make sure that the children who were affected by the floods had enough baby food.
