UNITED NATIONS - The General Assembly on Monday re-elected Pakistan to the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) for another six-year term beginning 2016.
“Our reelection is an international vote of confidence in the constructive contribution we have made in the area of international trade law,” Ambassador Maleeha Lodhi, permanent representative of Pakistan to the UN, said.
“Pakistan will strive to play an active role in UNCITRAL, as it has done in the past,” she said. Established by the General Assembly in 1966, the Commission promotes the progressive harmonisation and unification of international trade law.
Pakistan has already served two terms on the Commission— it was first elected in 2004.
