Pakistan's Ambassador at the United Nations Maleeha Lodhi says Pakistan has successfully dislodged terrorist sanctuaries from its territory but now the principal threat is coming from beyond the country’s borders.
She was speaking at a debate on terrorism at the UN General Assembly’s Sixth Legal Committee.
Maleeha Lodhi said Pakistan is combating the challenge of terrorism from abroad by implementing a comprehensive border management system along its western border.
Elaborating the border management system, she said it would enable Pakistan to prevent the cross border movement of militants, stop illegal smuggling of arms and check illicit drug trafficking.
Pakistan's permanent representative said terrorists and their evil acts have never shaken Pakistan's resolve to continue the fight to defeat it.
Maleeha Lodhi said the hard-earned stability that Pakistan enjoys today has been attained through a comprehensive approach against terrorism.
