COAS General Qamar Bajwa's important statement over Afghanistan peace process

ISLAMABAD - Chief of Army Staff General Qamar Bajwa's important statement over Afghanistan peace process has been reported by the press release issued by the Inter Services Public Relations on Friday.

COAS said that cross border terrorist incidents are gradually reducing due to solidification of Pak-Afghan border, especially the ongoing fencing. “However, enduring peace inside Pakistan is linked to peace in Afghanistan for which Pakistan is playing its role,” he said.

The COAS said: “Afghanistan is our brotherly Muslim neighbour and we wish peace in Afghanistan as much for Pakistan.”

He urged tribal ‘mashrans’ to continue playing their elderly role in guiding the youth. “Combination of experience and wisdom of elders with energy and talent of the youth is a recipe for success,” he said.
