and i must say that i applauded a command this initiative. the united nations has a responsibility to find solutions to problems. and pakistan is long advocated for the engagement of 4 engagements to solve problems within the hon. context. so whether it is the issue of women's rights, whether it's the issue of terrorism, where this issue of angio, whether it's the issues, the so many issues or the, the answer is engagement. i think it's a powerful message that the deputy sector general of the united nations is going to have gone to stuff. i'm sure that she will press the in from iran government on um, addressing some of the reservations of the international community. i understand she's planning to go to kandahar, do you think it's likely she will get a meeting with the surer? and can i ask you about her as, as the emissary of the international community because she is a female islamic woman. she comes from nigeria, is that sending the right message? do you think so as far as her schedule, within a more honest than is concerned? i don't, i don't have the details. i'm not sure whether she would be to can to her or not,

but i think it is a powerful message that she's the sort of highest level international figure going to be honest on happens to be a woman. happens to be a muslim as well, but it's not, i'm sure she's not just going as some sort of figurehead, she has a very expensive agenda. and as the united nations has a responsibility on the international stage to deal with the various issues emanating out to us. but it's important for us to continue to engage and convinced the inter ration to live up to the international expectations their promises to the international community. and for us to honestly work together to try and solve some of the problems that aren't only effective on a side effect focused on and could have been forbid, you know, effect the international communities such as terrorism, either such as in recent months, women's rights have been further, restricted things are going backwards, but mister bhutto dory says the only way forward is further engagement with the

taliban. meanwhile, 3 international agencies partially resume their operations in afghanistan. after the taliban said, women can continue to work in areas like health. the decision in late december to bad women from a work led to charity suspending their operations, but can save the children and the international rescue committee now say they can restart their health care services with female staff after the rules were amended to allow it. i've got my son is experiencing one of the world's worst, you monetary crises exacerbated by poor governance. earlier, david wright, the chief operating officer, it save the children international, told me the ban on women working in and joe's is still in place. what's actually happening is that certain ministries and the governments are saying that they are supportive of mix teams, mix male or female teams working, doing work that is relevant to their responsibility. so the we are allowed to start health and nutrition work so about it starts in the last few days. there's also

some education worth talking necessarily a nationwide thing. it's very, some problems to problem. so some purposes, we are able to restart the activities some purposes. we are not, but it really is only in those to narrow activities. what's happening? i've done some of the worst monitoring sizes in the world. they are the worst monitoring tysons in their history. and we were only able to do productivities of the population. 30000000 over our food insecure over what's going on. so even if you monitoring community or operating a full truck, we wouldn't be able to meet those needs. but at the moment the ban on female stuff is husband think the us it's, it's good that we are able to receive or life saving or tuesdays and house nutrition. but there's not a lot of other work there that needs to be done. if you want to keep her children away from already marriages if he wants her to come ways from partisans like
