In the recent floods, Pakistan's economy suffered a colossal loss of 18 Billion Dollars and more than 3 thousand people lost their lives.

The developed countries of the world, responsible for due to which the environmental damage, must remember that the building of their development is standing on the destruction of the developing countries. This injustice cannot be tolerated. International equality and equitable sharing of the fruits of development are essential for international peace.
