ISLAMABAD Aug 16: Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz on Tuesday said that Pakistan supported United Nations reforms based on equality, democracy and justice. Talking to the country’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Mr Munir Akram, who called on him at the Prime Minister’s House, Mr Aziz said: “As regards the UN Security Council, Pakistan was against creation and expansion of centres of privileges in the world body.”

He, however, stated that the country would welcome any increase in the number of non-permanent members of the Security Council aimed at making it a more representative world forum.
