China and Pakistan have jointly submitted a bid to the United Nations Security Council, urging the designation of the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) and its wing, the “Majeed Brigade,” as terrorist organizations. The two countries cited ongoing attacks from these groups, which are allegedly operating from Afghanistan’s safe havens, and called for action to curb their activities.
Both China and Pakistan emphasized that the BLA and Majeed Brigade have been involved in several high-profile incidents , including the Karachi Airport attack and the Zafar train hijacking, linking them to terrorist operations.
The United States had already recognized these groups as foreign terrorist organizations last month. The joint bid by China and Pakistan adds momentum to international efforts to address the growing threat posed by the BLA and its affiliates in the region.
