During the meeting which was also attended by the representatives of the Afghan Border Police and the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF), matters related to border security came under discussion.
In its press release issued on Monday, the ISPR said that during the meeting ways and means were also discussed to further enhance the existing border coordination mechanism.
The ISPR said that Southern Commander Lieutenant General Nasir Khan Janjua is also scheduled to visit Afghanistan on Wednesday to meet his counterpart across the border.
“These visits are aimed to enhance to ongoing military to military relationship between two countries,” the ISPR said.

“The two countries have also agreed not to let anyone use their soil against each other,” the adviser had said only a few days after the deadly terror attack on Peshawar’s Army Public School which claimed at least 150 lives including more than 132 schoolchildren.
The adviser had said that the Afghan President Ashraf Ghani pledged that he would not let his country’s border be used for terrorism.
