Participants expressed their desire to improve multilateral military cooperation amongst their countries, in order to coherently meet the emerging security challenges and jointly defeat the menace of terrorism comprehensively.
In his address at the forum General Raheel Sharif highlighted the regional security environement, common challenges and way forward for the participating countries.

COAS said that Pakistan’s counter terrorism efforts have turned the tide against terrorism in the country.  He said Pakistan is the biggest victim of terrorism both in terms of human lives and finances.

While elaborating the concept  and success of Zarbe Azb, COAS said that Pakistani security forces have valiantly fought terrorists upfront through an across the board, indiscriminate operation against terrorists of all hue and colour alongwith their abettors, financiers and sympathizers. He said that with unflinching support of entire nation terrorists’ ideologies and their narrative have been  defeated and their  sanctuaries and hideouts completely eliminated. Our efforts against residual threat are still continuing, and cant be entirely eliminated without optimum cooperation between neighbouring countries.

COAS said that success of our counter terrorism operation is a common dividend which should be optimised and shared. COAS also offered to benefit from Pakistan’s initiative and experiences in terms of regulation of cross border movement, socio-economic development of border regions and enhaced cooperation in terms of intelligence sharing.

Porous Western border and existence of some exploitable spaces, inadequate border management that allows terrorists move, lack of synergy, Coordination and institutionalised mechanism of intelligence sharing still remain our challenges.

These challenges were being exploited through confrontationalist and subervise approaches by hostile Intelligence agencies like RAW that spills blood of innocent people through indirect strategy. Highlighting the ongoing atrocities in IOK, COAS said India is unwilling to address historical disputes like Kashmir, that directly fan misunderstanding and feed into persistent regional culture of conflict.

COAS offered unlimited and sustained support to all participating countries in the conference particularly Afghanistan.
He emphasised that route to a peaceful and prosperous region runs through a stable Afghanistan, which is achievable through comprehensive and coordinated approach.
