Pakistan promised to combat terrorism, since he had several anti -terrorism dialogues with the United Kingdom, the European Union and Japan, according to a statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Friday.
Pakistan’s anti -terrorism policy, governed mainly by the National Action Plan (NAP) and the 1997 Anti -Terror Law (ATA), focuses on dismantling terrorist networks, regulating madrasas and curbing the financing of extremists.
The establishment of the National Authority against Terrorism (NACTA) aims to coordinate the efforts between the intelligence and application agencies. Operations led by military such as ZARB-E-AZB and RADD-UM-FASAAD have attacked militant strengths, while legal reforms have strengthened the prosecution mechanisms. However, the challenges remain to address extremism at the ideological level and guarantee deradication in the long term, particularly in the midst of regional security dynamics and evolving militant tactics.
In today’s informative session, FO spokesman Shafqat Ali Khan said that the second round of the anti-terrorism dialogue of the Pakistan-Uniticked kingdom occurred from February 17 to 18.
“Both parties exchanged points of view on the situation in Afghanistan, the global and regional landscape and on the security threats raised by the terrorist entities,” he added.
On February 20, Pakistan and the EU celebrated their ninth anti -terrorism dialogue in Brussels, according to FO spokesman.
He continued: “The respective delegations were led by the general director of Terrorism, Ambassador Abdul Hameed and the Director of Security and Defense Policy in the European External Action Service, Maciej Stadejak.”
The FO spokesman also highlighted the fourth round of anti-terrorist consultations of Pakistan-Japan in Tokyo on February 26.
“The Pakistan delegation was directed by the additional secretary (UN), Ambassador Nabeel Munir, while the Japanese side was directed by the ambassador to international cooperation to counteract terrorism and organized international crime of Japan, Minami Hiroyuki,” he said.
He added that the two parties discussed “terrorist threats evolving at the national and regional level”, reiterating their resolution to “combat terrorism in all forms and manifestations.”
