The meeting of this Military Border Working Group was proposed by Pakistan Army, says a press release issued by ISPR.

During the meeting, a comprehensive review of the situation was undertaken so as to ensure the sanctity of International border.

The Pakistan Army proposed three steps in this regard which included to establish a single point of contact with all Afghan National Security Forces (Including Afghan Border Police) through a hotline between Pak Army and Afghan National Army, frequent Border Flag Meetings between local commanders and interaction/Jirgas between Maliks of bordering villages living on either side of the border.

The working group members also discussed the findings of the June 15th Ziarat border post incursion investigation which, it was decided, would be concluded shortly.
