He said that renewed policy focus and resources were the need of refugees from Syria to Palestine to Afghanistan.
It is important to mention that Pakistan hosts over three million refugees. On the occasion of World Refugees Day, the country has called for a need for renewed international commitment, in the context of COVID-compounded socio-economic and health challenges, through regular, predictable and adequate financing for Afghan refugees including their safe and dignified return.
Also, it is important to undertake necessary measures for the stability and sustainable socio-economic development of Afghanistan, in order to avert the possibility of any future refugee exodus from the country.
