President Pakistan People's Party Parliamentarians (PPPP), Asif Ali Zardari has said that border management with Afghanistan with mutual consultation is critical for addressing issues of militancy and terrorism and for peace in the region.
He stated this while commenting on reports that fencing of border with Afghanistan along the border areas in Bajaur and Momand has started.
Asif Zardari while supporting the border fencing said that proper securing of borders will put an end to allegations of cross border incursions of militants that has vitiated the relations between the brotherly neighbours, Pakistan and Afghanistan. He said it was unfortunate that the relations between the two countries had plunged low in recent times and called for concerted and sincere efforts by both countries to overcome mistrust and suspicions.
"Border management with mutual consultation has long been delayed" the former President said adding that decision on it should no longer be delayed. A decision delayed is not a problem avoided, it is crisis invited, he further stated.
Asif Ali Zardari expressed the hope that the move to begin border fencing will be welcomed by all those wanting an end to militancy and counter allegations of cross border incursions.
