UNSC Resolution Sends "Strong Signal" Of Int'l Community's Expectations From Afghanistan: Shringla

The UN Security Council's resolution on Afghanistan, adopted under India's current presidency, "unequivocally" conveys that Afghan territory should not be used to threaten or attack any nation, shelter or train terrorists, and this is of "direct importance to India," Foreign Secretary Harsh Vardhan Shringla has said, underlining that the statement sends a "strong signal" from the international community on its expectations from Kabul. "I was in particular very happy to preside over the adoption of today's important resolution on Afghanistan, which has unequivocally conveyed that Afghanistan's territory should not be used to threaten or attack any country or to shelter, train terrorists or plan or finance terrorism. It underlines terrorist individuals and entities designated by UN Security Council (resolution) 1267. This is of direct importance to India," Shringla said here on Monday in his remarks to reporters at the UN Security Council stakeout, following the UNSC meeting on Afghanistan in which the resolution was adopted.
