Pakistan asks world to immediately unfreeze Afghanistan funds

NEW YORK (92 News) – Pakistan Permanent Representative to the United Nations Munir Akram has demanded immediate restoration of the frozen funds of Afghanistan.

Addressing a session of the UN Security Council on Thursday, he said that today Afghanistan is standing at an important juncture of the history. "The international community should help Afghanistan on humanitarian grounds," he maintained.

He said that the Afghan land was used against Pakistan in the past.

"Pakistan was affected by the Afghanistan situation most of all. Learning from the past, the international community must remain engaged in Afghanistan. Instability or economic collapse will perpetuate conflict and prolong the suffering of the people in Afghanistan," he maintained.
