Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi termed on Wednesday Pakistan's re-election to the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) as an important diplomatic achievement.

Among the five candidates from the Asia-Pacific region vying for four seats, Pakistan secured 169 votes in the 193-member UN General Assembly elections that were held in New York on Tuesday.

The foreign minister said that Pakistan was supported by every region in its election to the UNHRC. "Influential and important countries also backed Pakistan," he added.
