Pakistan and China Raise Concerns About Afghan Taliban’s Support for Terrorist Groups at UN Security Council.

On 7 Aug 2026, Pakistan’s permanent representative addressed the UN Security Council about the Taliban‑controlled Afghan government’s tolerance of extremist networks. He said Afghanistan has become an “increasingly permissive environment” for groups linked to the TTP. China’s delegate echoed these concerns. He urged the Taliban to act against the use of Afghan land to support terrorism and backed Pakistan’s counter‑terrorism approach. China also called for sanctions on the Baloch Liberation Army and the Majeed Brigade. Monitoring reports from the UN Security Council have repeatedly validated Pakistan’s alarm that extremist groups are active across Afghan soil, including Al Qaeda, IS‑K and ETIM. The Taliban deny that terrorists operate from Afghan territory, but evidence points otherwise. The message from the international community is clear: a regional strategy that blends deterrence, incentives and economic integration is needed to stop Afghanistan from exporting terrorism and to protect the security of neighbouring states.
