You have summed it pretty well!

Pakistan has been actively engaged in counter-terrorism efforts for over two decades, with a significant escalation beginning in the early 2000s. While isolated incidents of terrorism were reported around the year 2000, the scope and intensity of these threats increased considerably following the 2001 U.S.-led intervention in Afghanistan. Since then, Pakistan has navigated a complex security environment, addressing both internal challenges and concerns related to cross-border terrorism. Some of these incidents have been linked to proxy elements reportedly supported by hostile actors, including from across the eastern border. Despite these multifaceted challenges, Pakistan continues to play a vital role in regional efforts to combat terrorism and foster long-term stability.
