DPM/FM congratulated Foreign Minister Wang Yi on the 105th anniversary of CPC. The discussions focused on the Iran-US peace process, especially the first round of high- level talks in Burgenstock, mediated by Pakistan and Qatar.

DPM/FM shared that the talks had led to the establishment of a high-level committee aimed at providing oversight to the mediation process under the Islamabad MoU. The three working groups constituted to focus on the nuclear issue, sanctions, and monitoring and dispute resolution would aim to facilitate a final deal between the parties within 60 days.

The DPM/FM expressed appreciation for China’s steadfast support to the peace process, with a particular emphasis on the four-point peace proposal of President Xi Jinping and the five-point Pakistan-China peace initiative.

Foreign Minister Wang Yi congratulated DPM/FM and the leadership for successfully conducting this mediation process and signing of Islamabad MOU. He further praised Pakistan’s untiring efforts for peace and stability, marked by continuous outreach, active mediation and sustained engagement. He reaffirmed China’s unwavering support for Pakistan’s mediation efforts, underlining the importance of peaceful settlement of disputes as enshrined in the UN Charter.

The two leaders reaffirmed the resolve of Pakistan and China to work closely for a negotiated settlement between the parties, with a view to bringing a permanent end to hostilities and promoting lasting peace, shared development and common prosperity.

[Asim Iftikhar Ahmad, PR of Pakistan to the UN @PakistanPR_UN]

Today I delivered Pakistan's statement during the UN Security Council meeting on the situation in Afghanistan.

I highlighted the following points:

➡️ To help our Afghan brethren, Pakistan took numerous steps to support Afghanistan, including humanitarian relief efforts, political engagement, providing incentives to boost bilateral trade, etc.

➡️ With the end of civil war, it was anticipated that the Taliban would take positive steps to transform into a responsible governing authority by adhering to their international obligations and commitments.

➡️ For decades, terrorism has been a major problem in Afghanistan, with implications not just for Afghanistan, but the immediate neighborhood and beyond.

➡️ It was our expectation that the Taliban would take concrete and verifiable actions against terrorist groups such as the TTP, BLA and its Majeed Brigade, ISIL-K, ETIM and their affiliates that are operating with impunity on Afghan soil.

➡️ Regrettably, they have failed to undertake action, showing complete disregard for the legitimate security concerns of Pakistan and other countries.

➡️ As a direct result of the freedom with which these terrorist groups operate in Afghanistan, Pakistan has borne the brunt of their attacks as well as Taliban's growing nexus with these terrorist groups.

➡️ These terrorist groups have access to advanced weapons and sophisticated equipment including drones, also recently, much of which can be traced back to the multi-billion dollar worth of arms and ammunition left behind by foreign forces.

➡️ During our CT operations, there have been more than 290 cases of seizures of such weapons, which are used for terrorism and suicide bombings in the western parts of Pakistan.

➡️ In 2025 alone, Pakistan suffered more than 5,300 terrorist incidents and lost more than 1,200 lives to terrorism emanating from Afghanistan.

➡️ It is deplorable that the Taliban have reverted back to their old tactics of providing safe havens to terrorist groups and chosen the perilous path of complicity, backed by an outside actor, the historic spoiler and instigator of chaos — that has moved fast as an opportunist to wage a proxy war against Pakistan.

➡️ Let me make it clear: Pakistan will defend itself against whosoever attempts to harm our sovereignty, territorial integrity and national security.

➡️ Pakistan has always expressed openness for dialogue. Numerous diplomatic efforts were made to counsel the Taliban.

➡️ We thank friendly countries for their genuine mediation efforts, particularly Qatar, Turkiye, Saudi Arabia and most recently, China, to find amicable solutions.

➡️ Yet the Taliban's continued intransigence and even refusal to publicly denounce and condemn terrorist groups such as the TTP and BLA is deeply disturbing — it is evidence enough of their complicity and active support for these groups.

➡️ Pakistan will not sit idle while suffering from terrorist acts. We will respond in self-defense, as and when needed and always in conformity with international law and IHL.

➡️ The most recent report of the Secretary General seems to largely externalize the responsibility for Afghanistan's multifaceted challenges.

➡️ The fatalities of terrorists and their supporters as a result of CT operations are mentioned within the ambit of "civilian casualties", posing serious questions on the credibility of UNAMA's reporting from Afghanistan and the nature of their engagement with the Taliban.

➡️ UNAMA is swift in reporting incidents of cross-border actions and casualties but fails to provide the overall context — which is the grave terrorist threat emanating from Afghanistan and its cross-border impact directed at Pakistan that is harming Pakistan and killing innocent Pakistanis.

➡️ We must not lose sight of the fact that it is the Taliban's reckless style of governance and flawed ideologies of extremism, suppression and radicalization that have brought upon Afghanistan the calamities it faces today.

➡️ Several references have been made to the closure of border. Let me clarify that the closure of border between Pakistan and Afghanistan does not, from Pakistan's perspective, affect the movement of humanitarian supplies. Pakistan has been processing and facilitating the passage of humanitarian goods and material.

➡️ For over four decades, Pakistan welcomed millions of Afghan refugees despite limitations and insufficient international support, dealing with huge caseloads of illegal Afghans, including without documentation posing a serious threat to our security. But these were never meant to be indefinite stays.

➡️ While we provide all possible facilitation, the international community must step up and shoulder its responsibility. Shifting the blame of Afghanistan's woes to the inflow of Afghan returnees will not solve the problem.

➡️ No country has suffered more from the consequences of conflict and instability in Afghanistan than Pakistan. So we understand, and we also know, that no country stands to benefit more from peace, prosperity and stability in Afghanistan than Pakistan.

➡️ Pakistan's demand from the Taliban is simple and clear: verifiable and non-reversible action against terrorists. Regrettably, this demand remains unmet. The window for course correction is narrowing but is still open.

The Prime Minister underscored the vitality of the Pakistan-China All-Weather Strategic Cooperative Partnership and paid rich tribute to President Xi Jinping, who also served as Governor and Party Secretary of Zhejiang. He particularly lauded President Xi’s eco-friendly vision of “Lucid Waters and Lush Mountains,” which became a hallmark of the Beautiful China Initiative.

Among the key outcomes of the meeting were the signing of a sister-province relationship between Punjab and Zhejiang Province, and the establishment of a Joint Research & Technology Centre at Hangzhou University to harness opportunities in artificial intelligence, science & technology, digital economy and e-commerce.

The Party Secretary graciously accepted the Prime Minister’s invitation to visit Pakistan at a mutually convenient date.🇵🇰🇨🇳
