October 06, 2017

NEW YORK, Oct 6 (INP) Pakistan's Ambassador to the United Nations Maleeha Lodhi told the world body that Pakistan faces a terrorist threat “primarily supported and financed from outside its borders,” a press released said. Pakistan “will be able to defeat these forces too,” she vowed while speaking in the UN General Assembly’s debate on ‘Measures to Eliminate International Terrorism’ which took place in its Sixth Committee. Lodhi said that the country has turned the tide against terrorism as a result of its comprehensive efforts over the past several years, supported by a firm domestic political consensus. INP/AH/LK
