Pakistan May Launch Counter Terror Operation in Afghanistan Soon: Foreign Minister
17:40 02.08.2023 (Updated: 18:02 02.08.2023) Pakistan Institute for Conflict and Security Studies estimated that 54 militant attacks took place in the country last month, which killed 77 civilians and 37 law enforcement officers and injured 181 civilians and 36 officers.
Pakistan may conduct a
counterterrorist operation in
Afghanistan if the Afghan authorities fail to tackle
terrorist threat, Pakistani Foreign Minister
Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari has said.
"Regarding Pakistan going there [in Afghanistan] and taking action against these terrorists, we do not want to be forced to do this, but according to international law, we have the right to self-defense," Bhutto-Zardari said on Tuesday, as quoted by the Geo broadcaster, adding "if we are repeatedly attacked like this, and there is no appropriate response, we will be forced to do this. But I don’t think it should be amongst the first options for us."
He also noted that the
Taliban* (under UN sanctions for terrorism), in accordance with the 2020 agreement they signed with the
United States in Doha, committed to preventing militants and terrorist from
operating in Afghanistan or staging attacks against other countries from its territory. Pakistan's top diplomat urged the Afghan authorities to act accordingly.
"If they [the Taliban] need any help, then I think Pakistan should be prepared to help them. Our preference will be that we want the officials there, the interim government, to act against them," he said.
