RAW-NDS nexus in Afghanistan matter of deep concern for Pakistan: FO

Pakistan has reiterated its commitment not to allow its territory to be used for attacks against any other country.

This was stated by Foreign Office Spokesperson Nafees Zakaira while responding to media queries regarding allegations of safe havens in FATA.

He strongly rejected allegations of the presence of safe havens of terrorists in FATA.

He said that Pakistan has lost thousands of its citizens and suffered economic losses of over hundred billion dollars due to the menace of terrorism.

He said Pakistan’s contribution to the international community’s fight against terrorism and the sacrifices have been acknowledged by the world.

He said US Parliamentarians and US Commanders have visited FATA and publicly acknowledged the successes of Pakistan’s counter-terrorism drive.

Nafees Zakaria said the often repeated claims regarding safe havens are, therefore, more of a rhetoric than anything else.

He said some foreign elements are exploiting the situation and using Afghan soil against Pakistan. The activities of Indian RAW and NDS nexus remains a matter of deep concern to Pakistan.
