ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: Pakistan and Afghanistan have agreed to carry out coordinated actions against terrorists in their respective areas, the prime minister’s adviser on foreign affairs and national security Sartaj Aziz told media in Islamabad on Saturday.
“The two countries have also agreed not to let anyone use their soil against each other,” the adviser was quoted as saying by Radio Pakistan.
The adviser said that the Afghan President Ashraf Ghani pledged that he would not let his country’s border be used for terrorism.
Sartaj Aziz further said that the Pak-Afghan officials will meet within two weeks to discuss measures for effective border control.
“Pakistan is the country worst affected by terrorism in the world,” he said.
On December 17, the Afghan president assured Islamabad that the Afghan soil will not be allowed for terrorist activities against Pakistan.
The assurance came from the Afghan president when the Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Raheel Sharif met him in Kabul during his one day visit to Afghanistan.
The army chief shared classified intelligence details with the Afghan officials and revealed to them that the mastermind behind December 16 Peshawar school attack had been giving directives to the perpetrators of the attack from Afghanistan.
