UN debate Islamabad affirms to fight terror

UNITED NATIONS:
 


The only way forward to fight terrorism is to strengthen international cooperation, and the UN was the best vehicle to accomplish that objective, said Pakistan’s deputy permanent representative to the United Nations Nabeel Munir. He made this remark at the conclusion of the general assembly’s debate on the UN Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy on Thursday. Munir told the UN General Assembly “While our resolve remains firm, our mission remains unaccomplished,” while reaffirming Islamabad’s commitment to eliminate terrorism ‘regardless of the cost’ Munir said Pakistan has made huge sacrifices in this battle, “yet we persevere - our resolve and determination continues to strengthen”. He added that a few countries could match Pakistan’s efforts for counter-terrorism or its sacrifices.
