BEIJING: China today said it will take “a decision in due course” about the pending application in the UN to designate Pakistan-based JeM terror group leader Masood Azhar as a terrorist when it comes for a review.
“The Chinese side will make the decision in due course,” the Foreign Ministry told reporters here about the pending application proposed by the US, the UK and France among others in the 1267 anti-terrorism committee of the UN Security Council.
Early this year, China had put a six-month technical hold on the application which is expected to come up for review shortly.
“We have stated China’s position on the listing of the 1267 Committee of the UN Security Council many times” in the past, the ministry said in a written response. (AGENCIES)
