Pakistan urges unified operation in Afghanistan for achieving durable peace
IRFAN HAIDER — PUBLISHED 8 minutes ago
ISLAMABAD: Foreign Secretary Aizaz Ahmad Chaudhry stressed upon the need of ‘well-coordinated’ security operation in Afghanistan to achieve shared goals of peace and prosperity in the two countries.
This was stressed by Aizaz Chaudhry during the foreign secretary-level consultations between Pakistan and Afghanistan being held in Islamabad on Tuesday.
Chaudhry led the Pakistani delegation while the Afghan delegation was headed by Afghan Deputy Foreign Minister Hekmat Khalil Karzai.
The two sides reviewed all facets of Pakistan-Afghanistan bilateral relations and exchanged views on a broad range of issues of mutual interest, including peace and stability, counter-terrorism, border-security, trade and economic cooperation, Afghan refugees and regional cooperation.
Pakistan’s foreign secretary stressed upon the need for greater political engagement, stronger focus on economic development and well-coordinated security cooperation for achieving shared goals of peace and prosperity in the two countries as well as in the wider region.
He also said "the recent visit of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to Kabul had been vital to further cement the inextricable bonds between Pakistan and Afghanistan".
Both sides discussed Pakistan’s contribution towards the development of Afghanistan through the Pakistani funded projects aimed at the reconstruction and rehabilitation in Afghanistan, and the facilitative role it has been playing in promoting an Afghan-led and Afghan-owned peace and reconciliation process.
It was agreed that mutual trust and confidence between the two countries was leading towards better coordinated measures to root-out the menace of terrorism.
