Pakistan has consistently urged the interim Afghan government to ensure effective border management and prevent the use of Afghan soil for terrorism against Pakistan, the statement further said.
“The interim Afghan government is expected to fulfil its obligations and deny the use of its territory by militants.”
Pakistan’s security forces remain committed to securing the country’s borders and eliminating the threat of terrorism, the ISPR said.
