South Asia’s security environment deteriorating: envoy

Munir Akram tells UN body that the region’s largest state has embarked on a program of massive armament.

NEW YORK: Pakistan has said the security environment in South Asia has deteriorated sharply in recent years as the region’s largest state has embarked on a program of massive armament. It is now the world’s largest arms importer. 

Security environment continues to be volatile in South Asia due to suppression of fundamental rights of Kashmiris in IIOJK; deployment of two major armies in close proximity, sponsorship of terrorism against Pakistan; induction of major weapons & the absence of dialogue.

Ambassador Munir Akram made these remarks while taking part in the general debate of the UN Disarmament Commission at the UNHQ. He shared Pakistan’s proposals for comprehensive program of disarmament.
