All must back designation of terrorists by UN: Blinken

In an apparent message to China, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Friday said all relevant parties should support the UN designation of terrorists and no nation should stand in the way. He delivered this message in his virtual address during an informal briefing of the Counter-Terrorism Committee at one of the main sites that saw the Mumbai terror attacks - the Taj Hotel in Mumbai. China, in recent months, has blocked several bids to designate several terrorists based in Pakistan. Beijing this month put on hold a proposal to list Talha Saeed, son of LeT chief Hafiz Saeed.
