NEWYORK: Pakistan said it stands committed to play a constructive and proactive role in helping Afghanistan achieve lasting peace and stability.
At the meeting of the UN Security Council on the situation in Afghanistan, Pakistan’s Permanent Representative to the UN Asim Iftikhar Ahmad said Pakistan supports efforts to stabilize Afghanistan’s economy, revive its banking system and explore mechanisms for unfreezing Afghan financial assets.
He said terrorism emanating from Afghanistan remains a serious threat to its neighbors, particularly Pakistan.
He said we also have credible evidence of collaboration between the TTP and other groups, such as the BLA and Majeed Brigade, aimed at disrupting strategic infrastructure and economic development projects in Pakistan.
