Pakistan has called for joint action against terrorism during a meeting at the United Nations Security Council (UNSC), emphasizing the threat posed by terrorist groups operating from Afghanistan and the ongoing situation in Jammu and Kashmir. The country reiterated its concerns over the lack of progress in addressing cross-border terrorism and the so-called "double standards" in international responses to such threats. Pakistan’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Ambassador Asim Iftikhar Ahmad, highlighted the growing security risks in the region, urging the international community to take a unified stance against terrorism (dawn.com).
The discussion took place during a UNSC briefing on threats to international peace and security, where Pakistan stressed the need for coordinated efforts to combat terrorism. The country also raised concerns about the situation in Jammu and Kashmir, which remains a point of contention between Pakistan and India. Islamabad has long argued that the region is under occupation and that its people are subjected to human rights violations, though these claims are disputed by India (dawn.com).
