Pakistan has reiterated its resolve to take all necessary national measures to eliminate the threats of terror groups, cooperating with regional and international efforts to root out the menace of terrorism.

Addressing the UN Security Council during a debate on the situation in Afghanistan, acting permanent representative of Pakistan to the United Nations, Ambassador Usman Jadoon, said that terrorism within and from Afghanistan poses the single most serious threat to the country, to the region, and to the world.

He warned the international community that the terrorist group TTP Afghanistan, could emerge as al-Qaeda's arm with a regional and global terrorist agenda.

He said although, the Afghan Interim Government is fighting Daesh, the threat from various other terrorist groups such as al-Qaeda, the TTP and others has yet to be addressed.

The Ambassador said, with safe havens close to our border, it poses a direct and daily threat to Pakistan's security.

The Pakistani envoy said the terrorist group also receives external support and financing from our adversary.

He said Pakistan is eager to see Afghanistan return to the international community's fold.
