Pakistan Seeks UN Support to Counter Cross-Border Terrorism from Afghanistan

Pakistan has once again raised concerns about cross-border terrorism from Afghanistan, appealing to the United Nations (UN) for cooperation to counter the growing threat.

Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar, who is currently in New York for a high-level meeting of the UN Security Council, met with UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres to discuss key regional security concerns and Pakistan’s role in global peacekeeping efforts.

Pakistan’s Stance on Key Issues at the UN

During his meeting with Guterres, Dar emphasized the urgent need for international collaboration to address security threats emanating from Afghanistan.

“There is concern over cross-border terrorism from Kabul, and the cooperation of the United Nations is essential to eliminate terrorism in the region,” he stated.

The UN Secretary-General acknowledged Pakistan’s role in UN peacekeeping missions and its continued participation in multilateral diplomacy.

Ishaq Dar also spoke on the Kashmir issue, reaffirming that a just resolution in accordance with UN Security Council resolutions is necessary for lasting peace in South Asia.

He also strongly condemned Israeli aggression in Palestine, reiterating Pakistan’s support for a two-state solution.

Pakistan’s Call for Global Action

Speaking at a UN Security Council session on Global Governance, Ishaq Dar warned that global crises are threatening world stability.

  • He highlighted that Pakistan is facing terrorism from the banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), which operates from Afghan soil.
  • He stressed that a peaceful and stable Afghanistan is crucial for regional security.
  • He urged the international community to take collective measures for global peace and security.

Pakistan’s Commitment to Peace

Pakistan, as a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council, remains committed to promoting global peace and stability. Dar assured that Pakistan will continue its efforts in combating terrorism, supporting multilateral diplomacy, and advocating for the rights of oppressed communities worldwide.

Conclusion

With growing regional instability, Pakistan has intensified its diplomatic efforts to seek international cooperation in counterterrorism initiatives. As cross-border terrorism remains a serious challenge, Pakistan continues to engage with global institutions to ensure peace and security in the region.
