UNITED NATIONS:

With Syria's political and economic transition at a critical juncture, Pakistan has commended Syrian government's "wise policy and efforts" to prevent spillover from the wider Middle East escalation and keep the country on the path toward recovery and stability.

"Our shared priority is a peaceful, prosperous and stable Middle East," Ambassador Asim Iftikhar Ahmad, permanent representative of Pakistan to the United Nations, told the UN Security Council briefings on the 'Humanitarian and Political Situation in Syria'.

The 15-member Council's monthly briefings on Syria have focused lately on the political process underway there.
