Pakistan will continue to work for its national interest

Chief of Army Staff General Qamar Javed Bajwa has expressed concern over the blame game perpetrated by some quarters in Afghanistan and the United States to undermine Pakistan's contributions towards war on terror.

He was talking to Commander Resolute Support Mission and US Forces in Afghanistan General John W. Nicholson who called on him in Rawalpindi on Monday.

The Army Chief said that it is not a coincidence that this theme is being played at a time when policy review is being undertaken in the United States.

He said that despite provocations, Pakistan will continue to act positively as we consider defeat of terrorism as a matter of our national interest.

General Nicholson reiterated his appreciation of the professionalism of Pakistan Army and his admiration for resilience of people of Pakistan.

Both sides agreed on need for continuous engagement and coordination for peace and stability in the region.
