Anyone supporting terror must face UN action: Saudi FM on JeM chief

February 20, 2019 20:16

Saudi Arabia's foreign minister Adel Al-Jubeir said on Wednesday that any terrorist or anyone who supports terror must be designated by United Nations, a reference to India's efforts on banning of Jaish-e-Mohammed chief Masood Azhar.

He also said that Pakistan-Saudi Arabia joint statement on UN designations was not against India's efforts to get Azhar banned.

He expressed hope that India and Pakistan 'can de-escalate and resolve issues peacefully'.

"We will not involve ourselves into tensions between India and Pakistan without being invited by both the countries. No body wants to see armed conflict between two nuclear powers, nobody benefits except terrorists," the Saudi FM said.

He said it is important that those who committed the terrible Pulwama terrorist act be held accountable and brought to justice. -- PTI
