Pakistan Reaffirms Support for UNAMA’s Efforts for Peace and Stability in Afghanistan

Pakistan: Pakistan has reiterated its support for UNAMA in promoting efforts for peace, security, and stability in Afghanistan. The support was expressed by Pakistan’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Asim Iftikhar Ahmad, at the UN Security Council on the Adoption of Resolution for the Mandate Renewal of UNAMA.

According to Radio Pakistan, the Ambassador emphasized that one of the most serious challenges in Afghanistan is the alarming rise in the threat of terrorism emanating from the country, which is directly affecting its immediate neighbors, particularly Pakistan. He highlighted the concern that elements within the Taliban are actively collaborating with several terrorist groups and providing them with safe havens.

Asim Iftikhar Ahmad stated that UNAMA must be fair and balanced in its reporting and should consider the legitimate security concerns of Afghanistan’s immediate neighbors, who are facing serious threats from Afghan soil.
