India slams China, Pak for not understanding threat of terrorism

United Nations, December 21 : India has hit out at some UN members for failing to “clearly understand” the common threat of terrorism due to their “narrow political and strategic concerns”, apparently referring to Pakistan and China. India’s Permanent Representative to the UN Syed Akbaruddin said terror networks operated across borders in terms of propagation of hateful ideologies, sometimes based in deep-rooted perceived grievances.
“This is a common challenge which requires greater focus by this Council, one where closer international cooperation needs to be, can be and should be expanded for our common interest,” Akbaruddin told the Security Council during an open debate on Wesnesday on ‘Addressing complex contemporary challenges to International Peace and Security’.
“It appears that this common threat to states and societies is not clearly understood here. Even on counter-terrorism, cooperation continues to elude the Council,” he said.
