The White House assertion launched on March twenty sixth stated “President Biden invited 40 world leaders to the Leaders Summit on Climate he will host on April 22 and 23. The virtual Leaders Summit will be live-streamed for public viewing”.
According to the assertion by the White House, the important thing themes of the summit are set to revolve across the urgency – and the financial advantages – of stronger local weather motion.
In the checklist of invitees included a number of world leaders like PM Modi of India, PM Sheikh Hasina of Bangladesh, PM Lotay Tshering and others like President Putin of Russia and Xi Jinping from China.

I congratulate President @JoeBiden on his inauguration. Look ahead to working with @POTUS in constructing a stronger Pak-US partnership by commerce & financial engagement, countering local weather change, enhancing public well being, combating corruption & selling peace in area & past— Imran Khan (@ImranKhanPTI) January 20, 2021
By the seems to be of it, USA will not be taking over Imran Khan on the provide of ‘working closely’ to ‘counter climate change’.
Imran Khan, the Prime Minister of Pakistan, has been making an attempt extraordinarily laborious to cosy as much as the brand new Biden administration within the USA. Ambitiously, Khan had lately supplied to mediate between China and the United States of America as properly.
Addressing the Pakistan-Sri Lanka Trade and Investment Conference in Colombo in February, Khan stated, “I also feel that and  I want to believe that Pakistan can play its part in reducing the rising tensions between the United States and China. Some 50 years back it was Pakistan that opened up China for the United States. It was Pakistan that organised the meeting between Henry Kissinger and the Chinese. So I hope that again we can play our part.”
“We would rather be a country that brings other nations and humanity together, rather than becoming a country that is part of rivalries between two countries,” he had added.
While Pakistan is actually an ally of the USA, a lot to the laters peril, it’s evident that as a rustic, it’s nearly inconceivable to take Pakistan as severely as the remainder of the world.
