RAWALPINDI: Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Qamar Javed Bajwa on Sunday made a telephone call to President Ashraf Ghani, suggesting a robust border management mechanism and intelligence cooperation to put a stop to and fro movement of terrorists across the border.

General Bajwa also condoled the loss of life during the call in recent terror attacks in Afghanistan.

He expressed sympathy with families of the victims and empathised on the tragic series of events that have befallen people of both the brotherly countries over the last many years.

COAS reiterated Pakistan's cooperation with the Afghan government and people to eliminate the scourge of terrorism which is affecting peace and stability of the whole region.

He emphasised that Pakistan has come a long way in its fight against terrorism of all hue and colour and has eliminated all safe havens in the process.

COAS suggested a robust border management mechanism and intelligence cooperation to put a stop to and fro movement of terrorists across the border.

He said that the elements inimical to peace in the region are strengthened by the blame game. Both nations should rather focus on capitalising upon the gains of successful Zarb e Azb in Pakistan.

President Ashraf Ghani thanked General Qamar Javed Bajwa for his sentiments and reiterated that both nations must work together for peace and stability in the region.

COAS is wasting his time. He'll realise how useless they are.

It would be better to take over Afghan area and set security as we want

He is not wasting time rather giving him an ultimatum and asking him to do what Pakistan wants and if he fails, which he would, then...

hopefully something like: install border security within X months else we'll shut down the border or start doing strikes in Afghanistan.

Whatever they talked about, I hope the Afghans get their act together and start implementing proper border control.

Ultimatum is what it is.

Pakistan should continue to seal or atleast bring some law and order to the border. It's in the best interests of both nations to have a secure border. Pakistan should establish more border gates and checkpoints. Currently the long trench is not ideal for the future however for now it is clamping down on illegal transport vehicles being able to enter freely into Pakistan. For some peace atleast there does need to be a border.

How will you talk to them about 'robust border management' when they do not even recognize the border... Just a waste of time.

 

[Hamza913]

If they won't cooperate, then we should cross the border and do it ourselves.

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

Time waste should be Take over the region

Waste of time by COAS Gen. Bajwa.
