At the United Nations, Pakistan has expressed serious concern over terrorism originating from Afghanistan.
Pakistan’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations Munir Akram, while speaking in the 15-member Council’s debate on the situation in Afghanistan, urged Taliban to stop terrorist groups from using Afghan territory for attacks against neighbours.
He said Pakistan will support all sincere efforts to neutralize and eliminate these terrorist groups while fully respecting Afghanistan’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
The Pakistani envoy urged the international community to respond positively to the UN Secretary-General’s appeal for 4.2 billion dollars in humanitarian and economic assistance to Afghanistan and release the country’s financial reserves, held by the United States, to revive its banking system.
