Islamabad, January 27, 2022 (PPI-OT): Pakistan has strongly called for unfreezing Afghanistan’s financial reserves to revive its war-battered economy and to save lives of millions of suffering Afghans. Speaking at the UN Security Council, Pakistan’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Munir Akram said there is no legal justification for depriving Afghan people of their national assets. He urged international community to respond positively to UN humanitarian and refugee response appeals.
Pakistani envoy said Pakistan has provided thirty million dollars in food and other assistance and currently supports nearly four million Afghan refugees. Reaffirming the importance of combating terrorism in Afghanistan and in ensuring that its territory is not used by any terrorist group, Munir Akram said we are glad that sponsors of terrorism against Pakistan have been obliged to exit from Afghanistan.
