The prime minister said he held a “productive” conversation with Rodrigues-Birkett, telling her that Pakistan remained committed to a “stronger, more effective UN” and stressing the need for multilateral cooperation to tackle mounting global challenges.
In a post on X, he said he appreciated Rodrigues-Birkett’s recognition of Pakistan’s contributions to the UN and Islamabad’s efforts to advance regional peace and stability.
The outreach comes as contenders begin a diplomatic sprint ahead of the 2026 selection battle to replace UN Secretary General AntónioGuterres, with hopefuls seeking to lock in support before the Security Council’s behind-the-scenes negotiations begin.
The council, whose five permanent members hold veto power, traditionally recommends a candidate to the UN General Assembly for appointment as the world body’s top official.
Pakistan’s election to the 15-member council has elevated its role in a contest shaped by geopolitical rivalries, regional representation and competing diplomatic interests.
Rodrigues-Birkett is among a growing field of contenders vying for the influential post. Several candidates have already visited Islamabad and personally met Prime Minister Sharif, including former Chilean president Michelle Bachelet, former Senegalese president MackySall and UN Conference on Trade and Development Secretary General Rebeca Grynspan.
With global divisions deepening and the UN facing pressure over conflicts and international crises, diplomats say every vote – including those of elected Security Council members – could prove critical in determining who takes the helm of the world body.
