New Delhi: Pakistan has reacted by not accepting an invitation to the UN Security Council (UNSC) meeting chaired by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Pakistan has expressed outrage at not being invited to a Security Council meeting on August 6 on the situation in Afghanistan, a disputed neighbor.
Pakistan regrets not calling on the UN Security Council to discuss the current situation, despite being a severely affected neighbor due to the Afghan situation. Although they were ready for talks, they were not invited. Zaheed Hafeez Chowdhury, a spokesman for Pakistan’s foreign ministry, said the council was being used as a platform to spread false propaganda about their country. They commented that they were neighbors to the Afghan nation and that they had a key role to play in ensuring peace in Afghanistan. He tweeted that military action was not the solution to the problem and that a political agreement was the right way to go. Hafeez Chowdhury said he hoped they would also take part in the talks in Doha.
Ghulam Isaac Jai, Pakistan’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, also said that Pakistan had become a safe haven for the Taliban. India, on the other hand, has been sharply critical of Pakistan for inciting terrorism. UN Ambassador to India Thirumurthy has called for the immediate destruction of militant safe havens in the region and an end to the terrorist chain in order to bring peace to Afghanistan.
Russian President Vladimir Putin, President of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, President of the African Union Felix-Antoine Shisekedi Silombo, and US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken will also attend the UNSC summit to be chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi this evening (Monday). This is the first time that the 15-nation summit has discussed anti-terrorism, international peacekeeping, and maritime security as separate issues on the agenda.
