UN Secretary-General António Guterres was met at the airport in Islamabad by Minister of State Hina Rabbani Khar, according to the Foreign Office.
Speaking at a joint press conference, the dignitary said Pakistan was one of the countries most negatively impacted by climate change and needed enormous financial assistance to deal with floods.
I am aware of the devastation these floods have caused among Pakistanis, and I assure them that we will deploy all of our efforts to draw attention to it from the rest of the world.
