Indian envoys attracted the attention of the UN Security Council against the threat of the possibility of the growth of international terrorism and drug trafficking after the Taliban Afghan taker.
India on Wednesday warned about developments in Afghanistan which had broader consequences in the Central Asian region. TS Tirumu, India’s permanent representative from the United Nations, attracted the attention of the UN Security Council against the threat of the possibility of the growth of international terrorism and drug trafficking after the Taliban Afghan taker.
“Developments in Afghanistan will have broader consequences for the Central Asia region, especially the possibility of international terrorism growth and drug trafficking originating from the Afghanistan region,” said Tirumuti.
Indian envoys participated in the UNSC debate about “cooperation between the United Nations and the Organization of Collective Security Agreement”. CSTO, which consists of Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan, celebrates the 20th anniversary of its establishment.
Tirumuti emphasizes that the international community needs to take awareness of the concerns of Central Asian countries who have developments in Afghanistan.
“Regional and sub-regional organizations, have time and once again show how important their role is in the maintenance of peace and international security. They have an important role in resolving disputes, especially in conflict situations,” said Tirumu.
“Therefore we support active involvement between UN and regional and sub-regional organizations, and in line with the UN Charter,” he added.
The situation in Afghanistan has deteriorated dramatically in recent months due to the combination of international sanctions, freezing Afghan assets and suspension of foreign aid after Sunni Pashtun’s group took control of Kabul in mid-August. Taliban, who seek recognition from the international community, has repeatedly urged the US to remove Afghane assets quoting the economic crisis.
In August, the Security Council adopted a resolution of 2593 demanding that the Afghanistan region should not be used to threaten or attack any country. This resolution was adopted by votes 13 for help and with two involvement – Russia and China.
