The joint event underscored Pakistan's steadfast commitment to advancing dialogue, constructive discussions, and mutual understanding at multilateral forums to identify practical, actionable measures to confront the evolving threat of terrorism in all its forms. Delegates from government, international organizations, and civil society convened to explore a comprehensive counter-terrorism approach spanning national, regional, and global levels. Pakistan highlighted that counter-terrorism remains a top priority during its current tenure on the UN Security Council (2025-26) and pledged to align national policies with UNSC mandates and international norms on human rights and the rule of law. Key sessions examined financing of terrorism, including illicit fund flows and sources of operational support; disruption of extremist propaganda and radicalization; prevention, protection, and resilience-building in vulnerable communities; and the use of technology and cyberspace by terrorist networks. Regional cooperation was stressed, with commitments to strengthen border controls, information-sharing, and capacity-building among security and law enforcement agencies; and to deepen dialogue with neighboring states and regional organizations to disrupt cross-border networks. The event produced a forward-looking roadmap, including a joint communique, practical measures, and timelines for follow-up meetings, expert exchanges, and joint training exercises. Emphasis was placed on inclusive development, governance reforms, education and economic opportunities as long-term antidotes to terrorism, and on safeguarding civil liberties while countering extremist violence. Participants agreed to monitor progress, publish periodic progress reports, and coordinate with UN bodies to ensure accountability and impact.
