RAWALPINDI, Pakistan: The Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Qamar Javed Bajwa has reiterated that Pakistan has undertaken operations against terrorists of all hue and colour, and there are no safe havens inside Pakistan which are used against Afghanistan.
Talking to a nine-member Afghan media delegation which visited the army’s general headquarters in Rawalpindi on Friday and interacted with him, the COAS said that Afghanistan is a brotherly neighbour and terrorists are our common enemy against which a trust based coordinated response is required rather than blame game.
Qamar Javed Bawja said that media can play a vital role in mitigating the negativity created by inimical forces.
The COAS emphasized the need for effective border management along Pak-Afghan border for which Pakistan has taken effective measures on its side of the border including fencing and establishment of new border forts/posts.
The Afghan media delegation thanked the COAS for his time and very candid discussion.
They acknowledged that such interactions are very useful to understand each other, and they are carrying back home a facts based positivity through this tour.
The delegation is on week-long visit to Pakistan in coordination with the Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR).
