The foreign minister, in a related tweet said, it was unfortunate that Pakistan was, once again, denied the opportunity to speak at the United Nations Security Council meeting held on Monday over Afghanistan.
“After Afghanistan, it is undeniably Pakistan that has been a victim of decades of this conflict,” he further posted.
At this critical juncture in the destiny of Afghanistan, India’s partisan & obstructionist actions, repeatedly politicising this multilateral platform who’s raison dêtre is peace, speaks volumes of their intention for 🇦🇫 & the region. https://t.co/RpQKrydv3k
