ISLAMABAD: Denmark’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations,Ambassador Christina Markus Lassen, has expressed grave concern over thecontinuing presence of the banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) inAfghanistan and its escalating cross-border terrorist attacks againstPakistan.
Addressing the Security Council, Lassen revealed that approximately 6,000TTP militants are currently operating from Afghan territory, seriouslyundermining regional security and pushing the area towards furtherinstability.
The Danish envoy accused the Taliban administration of providing logisticalsupport and other assistance to the TTP, effectively turning Afghanistaninto a safe haven for terrorist organisations.
She highlighted that this support has directly contributed to multipledeadly attacks inside Pakistan, resulting in significant loss of precioushuman lives and posing a severe threat to peace in the entire region.
Lassen emphasised that the resurgence of terrorist groups under Talibanprotection not only endangers Pakistan but also jeopardises the stabilityof neighbouring countries and the broader South Asian region.
