Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Thursday, emphasised the urgent need to combat terrorism through collaborative efforts among member states. The Pakistan prime minister called upon the Afghan Taliban to take concrete steps to prevent their territory from being used as a base for terrorist activities against other nations.
"Terrorism in all its forms and manifestations, including state terrorism, must be condemned in clear and unambiguous terms," he said while addressing the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO), adding "no justification for killing innocent people or using the bogey of terrorism".
Sharif also highlighted the global challenges posed by the escalation of political and military conflicts, which have led to a significant increase in food and fuel prices. He acknowledged that these issues have severely impacted the ability of SCO member states to tackle poverty effectively. The prime minister assured that Pakistan would make every effort to contribute to the collective endeavors aimed at improving the living standards of people within the SCO region.
Sharif, who is on a two-day official visit to Astana, Kazakhstan, joined leaders and diplomats from various countries, including China, India, Turkiye, Iran, Azerbaijan, and Kyrgyzstan, to discuss matters of economic and security cooperation.
"Global community must isolate, expose countries harbouring terrorists," says Jaishankar
Earlier, while reading out PM Modi's remarks at the SCO, External affairs minister S Jaishankar asked the global community to isolate the countries providing safe havens to terrorists.
"Global community must isolate, expose those countries that harbour terrorists, provide safe havens and condone terrorism," he said.
"Terrorism, if left unchecked, can become a major threat to regional and global peace. Terrorism in any form or manifestation cannot be justified or condoned," he added.
Jaishankar also took an indirect attack on Pakistan, Jaishankar saying, "Cross-border terrorism requires decisive response and terrorism financing and recruitment must be resolutely countered."
