Currently we are countering terrorism on our boundaries well together at least Pakistani side has turned a blind eye on death of terrorists. An obvious disappointing thing for our mutual enemies, especially the ones who want insecurity in Balochistan province in both sides.
This security cooperation can be upgraded to high economical and military levels. The result will be awesome for both sides. Balochistan will shift it i'm sure about this
