The Security Council must secure the implementation of its resolutions on Kashmir. The United Nations Military Observer Group in India and Pakistan should be reinforced. Global Powers should convince New Delhi to accept Pakistan’s offer of mutual restraint on strategic and conventional weapons. Peace in Afghanistan is a strategic imperative for Pakistan. Pakistan shares the concerns of the international community with respect to Afghanistan, particularly the rights of women and girls. Yet. we advocate continued humanitarian assistance to a destitute Afghan population, in which Afghan girls and women are the most vulnerable, as well as the revival of the Afghan economy and the implementation of the connectivity projects with Central Asia. Pakistan’s first priority is to prevent and counter all terrorism from and within Afghanistan. Pakistan condemns the cross-border terrorist attacks against Pakistan by the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan. Da’esh and other groups operating from Afghanistan. We have sought Kabul’s support and cooperation to prevent those attacks. However, we are also taking necessary measures to end that externally encouraged terrorism.
