UNITED NATIONS: Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi told the world community on Tuesday that despite adverse effects on Pakistan’s economy stemming from twin challenges of the war on terror and the devastating floods, the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) remained centrepiece of government’s development efforts.
“We are committed to the attainment of the Millennium Development Goals and keen to work with the international community to turn the challenges into opportunities,” Mr Qureshi said in a speech to a UN General Assembly meeting on MDGs.
