Pakistan Army Chief General Qamar Javaid Bajwa telephoned Afghan President Ashraf Ghani.
Inter-Services Public Relations chief Maj Gen Asif Ghafoor tweeted the statement, which read that the army chief "pressed upon Afghanistan to cooperate in stopping the to and fro movement of terrorists from across the border".
"Elements inimical to peace in the region are strengthened by blame game," the statement read.
"All safe havens of terrorists have been eliminated from Pakistan," the army chief was quoted as saying.
Gen Bajwa reportedly empathised on the "tragic series of events" that unrolled on the "people of both the brotherly countries" over the last few years.
He reiterated Pakistan's cooperation with the Afghan government and its people to "eliminate the scourge of terrorism" that is affecting peace and destabilising the region.
"Pakistan has come a long way in its fight against terrorism of all hue and colour," the statement read, adding that "all safe havens [of militants] have been eliminated in the process".
