US: Failure to designate JeM chief runs counter to goal of regional stability, peace
The United States has stated that the disappointment to designate Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) chief Masood Azhar as an international terrorist “runs counter” to Washington and China’s goal of local stability and peace. “As UN Sanctions Committee deliberations are confidential, we don’t comment on specific matters, but we will continue working with the Sanctions Committee to ensure that the designations list is updated and accurate,” said a US Embassy spokesperson here on Thursday. "With respect to China, the United States and China share a mutual interest in achieving regional stability and peace, and a failure to designate Azhar runs counter to this goal,” the spokesperson further said. US’ observation comes tight on the heels of China, in the United Nations Security Council, cutting off the proposal of France, United States, and the UK to settle dreaded terrorist Masood Azhar on the UN terror blacklist.
