While Addressing the International Conference on Climate Resilient Pakistan held in Geneva, French President Emmanuel Macron said in a video message that Paris was ready to support Pakistan in its talks with financial institutions as the country faces huge losses from recent floods.
French President Emmanuel Macron pledged to bring in a contribution of $10m for aid support to Pakistan. “France will bring a new contribution of $10 million for Pakistan aid support,” he added. “Pakistan is doubly victimized by climate chaos and a morally bankrupt global financial system,” he added, calling for creative ways for developing countries to access debt relief and financing.
