At the United Nations, Pakistan has called for evolving a robust multilateral strategy to make the world free from terrorism.

This was stated by Permanent Representative of Pakistan to the United Nations, Ambassador Asim Iftikhar Ahmad, while addressing the 96th Plenary meeting of the 80th Session of the United Nations General Assembly.

He said Pakistan has remained at the forefront of global counter terrorism efforts, having played an instrumental role in its success over the years, particularly against Al Qaida and other groups.

Ambassador Asim Iftikhar Ahmad  said terrorism transcends national boundaries and manifests itself in an increasingly interconnected yet decentralized organizational manner globally.

This necessitates a multifaceted strategy that reflects ground realities across diverse regions, nations, communities, societies, and cultures.

The Permanent Representative of Pakistan to the UN said we should ensure that intergovernmental bodies like FATF are inclusive, fair, transparent, and depoliticized. He said no country should be allowed to weaponize such forums for domestic or political agendas.
