ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations Munir Akram apprised the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) meeting that the terrorists enjoyed support of the Afghanistan’s interim government.
“Pakistan will continue the nationwide crackdown on Fitna al-Khawarij,” Ambassador Akram said while addressing the UNSC forum.
Pakistan has witnessed a significant surge in attacks on security forces in recent months with the militants using advanced weaponry and equipment.
Islamabad has time and again called on the interim Afghanistan government to prevent its land from being used by khawarij and other militant organisations, who have carried out cross-border attacks over and over again inside Pakistan.
Pakistan was ready to cooperate with the regional and international organisations, as it wanted peace and stability in Afghanistan, said Pakistan’s UN envoy.
“Pakistan is concerned about humanitarian crisis in the neighbouring country. We are determined to increase trade and economic relations with Afghanistan,” Akram said, reiterating Islamabad’s support for the economic recovery of Afghanistan.
The Pakistani envoy said his country was determined to boost trade and economic relations with Kabul. However, he requested the international not to ignore its goals related to Afghanistan.
