Islamabad: July 17, 2020 (TNS): Pakistan welcomes the designation of Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan leader Noor Wali Mehsud by the UNSC 1267 Sanctions Committee on its ISIL and Al-Qaida Sanctions List.
In a statement, Foreign Office Spokesperson Aisha Farooqui said the sanctions are being implemented by Pakistan in compliance with the relevant UNSC resolutions and we hope that other countries will also follow suit.
She said TTP is already a UN-designated terrorist organization and is responsible for numerous terrorist attacks inside Pakistan.
She said Pakistan has defeated TTP through comprehensive security operations in the country. However, TTP continues to operate from outside Pakistan’s borders with support from its third-country facilitators.
The Spokesperson said Pakistan will continue to pursue its policy of fighting against those involved in participating, financing, planning, facilitating and perpetrating terrorism.
