China and Pakistan have submitted a joint bid to the United Nations Security Council to recognize the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) as a terrorist entity. This development was announced on Thursday, September 18, 2025.
The BLA is an armed separatist group operating in the Balochistan region of Pakistan, which has been involved in various violent activities aimed at gaining greater autonomy for the province. The joint bid by China and Pakistan reflects their ongoing collaboration in addressing security concerns related to the BLA.
This move comes amid increasing international scrutiny of separatist movements and their implications for regional stability. As previously reported, similar situations have arisen in other parts of the world, highlighting the complexities of addressing terrorism and separatism on a global scale.
The outcome of the joint bid will be closely monitored by international observers, as it may influence future discussions on terrorism and security in the region.
