Pakistan's Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari spoke to the Atlantic Council about Pakistan's foreign policy goals and opportunities for deepening the Pakistan-US relationship amid the climate crisis and ensuing economic challenges.

"We experienced this year what can be only described as a climate catastrophe of biblical proportions," said Minister Bhutto Zardari, referring to Pakistan's record floods. "All our engagements are about creating opportunities for us to rebuild our lives in a better manner as a result of this catastrophe."

He spoke at an #ACFrontPage event hosted by the Atlantic Council's South Asia Center, moderated by Uzair Younus, Director of the Center's Pakistan Initiative.
