PARIS – French President Emmanuel Macron said Paris is ready to assist Pakistan in its negotiations with financial institutions, as the country suffers massive losses as a result of recent floods.
The International Conference on Resilient Pakistan, co-hosted by Pakistan and the United Nations, aims to rally support for rebuilding the country following severe floods.
Macron stated in a video message during the Geneva meeting that France will continue to give expertise and some financial assistance to the country.
The floods, blamed on climate change, devastated Pakistan’s already-struggling economy, displacing 8 million people and killing at least 1,700 people. The cost of reconstruction is currently anticipated to be more than $16 billion.
