Islamabad:<\/strong> Pakistan has expressed serious concern over what it describes as the continued threat of terrorism originating from Afghan territory, stating that repeated attacks against Pakistani citizens and security personnel have tested the country’s patience and cannot be tolerated indefinitely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The remarks were made by Foreign Office spokesperson Tahir Andrabi<\/strong> during the weekly media briefing in Islamabad, where he outlined Pakistan\u2019s position on regional security, relations with Afghanistan, and human rights concerns in South Asia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pakistan Highlights Terrorism Concerns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Speaking to journalists, the spokesperson said Pakistan remains one of the countries most affected by terrorism and has paid a heavy price in terms of human lives and national security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the Foreign Office, thousands of Pakistani citizens have lost their lives as a result of terrorist violence over the years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The spokesperson stated that Pakistani security forces continue to face threats from militant groups that allegedly receive planning, financing, and support from across the border.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He emphasized that no responsible state can remain silent when its sovereignty, citizens, and institutions are repeatedly targeted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAttacks Have Tested Pakistan\u2019s Patience\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Foreign Office said that the continued occurrence of attacks allegedly linked to elements operating from Afghan territory has placed significant strain on Pakistan\u2019s security environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the spokesperson, the persistence of such incidents has tested Pakistan\u2019s patience and raised serious concerns about regional stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He stressed that attacks on Pakistani civilians and law-enforcement agencies cannot continue without consequences and that Pakistan has a responsibility to protect its people and territory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security Measures in Border Areas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The spokesperson stated that Pakistan has taken what it describes as necessary measures in border regions to safeguard national security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While no specific operational details were disclosed, he noted that such actions are aimed at preventing threats and protecting communities living near the frontier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pakistan, he said, seeks assurances that Afghan territory will not be used by terrorist groups to plan or launch attacks against Pakistan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The issue has remained a recurring point of discussion between the two neighboring countries in recent years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Call for Afghan Cooperation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Foreign Office reiterated Pakistan\u2019s expectation that Afghanistan will take effective steps to ensure that its soil is not used for activities that threaten Pakistan\u2019s security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Islamabad has repeatedly maintained that addressing cross-border militancy requires cooperation, coordination, and mutual commitment from both sides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The spokesperson said Pakistan wants assurances and practical measures that can help reduce tensions and improve security along the shared border.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Commitment to Dialogue and Diplomacy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Despite security concerns, Pakistan emphasized that it remains committed to resolving issues with Afghanistan through dialogue and diplomatic engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The spokesperson noted that the people of Pakistan and Afghanistan share deep historical, cultural, religious, and linguistic ties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said Pakistan seeks friendly and brotherly relations with Afghanistan and believes that sustained communication is essential for addressing common challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the Foreign Office, the door for dialogue remains open and Pakistan continues to favor peaceful engagement over confrontation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Broader Regional Context<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Relations between Pakistan and Afghanistan have often been influenced by concerns regarding border security, refugee movements, trade, and counterterrorism cooperation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While both countries have repeatedly expressed a desire for stable and constructive relations, security-related accusations and concerns have periodically strained bilateral ties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Analysts note that cooperation on border management and counterterrorism remains one of the most important issues in the relationship between the two neighbors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Comments on Human Rights Situation in India<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

During the briefing, the Foreign Office also commented on the situation of minorities in India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The spokesperson said Pakistan remains concerned about the rights and welfare of Muslims and other minority communities in India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He stated that Pakistan continues to engage with international partners and organizations on human rights issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the Foreign Office, discussions with international stakeholders have included concerns related to human rights conditions in Indian-administered Kashmir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Engagement with International Organizations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The spokesperson said Pakistan remains in contact with the European Union<\/strong> and other international institutions regarding human rights matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He noted that concerns relating to alleged human rights violations in Kashmir were raised during meetings with senior European officials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pakistan has consistently advocated for international attention to the issue and continues to call for dialogue and adherence to international human rights standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pakistan Reaffirms Security and Diplomatic Priorities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Concluding the briefing, the Foreign Office reaffirmed Pakistan\u2019s dual approach of maintaining national security while pursuing diplomatic engagement with neighboring countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officials stressed that protecting citizens and preserving sovereignty remain fundamental responsibilities of the state, while constructive dialogue and regional cooperation continue to be viewed as essential tools for achieving long-term peace and stability.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
