Pakistan, Afghan & Tajik army officers attend anti-terror meeting

Mid-ranking military officers and attachés from China, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Tajikistan, attended a symposium on counter terrorism at the Special Operations College of the People's Liberation Army in Beijing last week, said the Chinese Defence Ministry. The participants exchanged experience on strengthening counter-terrorism capacity and cooperation.
The delegates also went to Kashgar, a city located in the south western part of the Xinjiang Uyghur autonomous region to watch the region's Special Forces conduct counter-terrorism combat training on Monday. China, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Tajikistan are members of a quadrilateral counter-terrorism mechanism established in August in response to the threat of terrorism and extremism. The symposium is part of the four-nation mechanism scheduled work aiming to strengthen practical counter-terrorism cooperation and enhance their ability to jointly respond to threats of terrorism.
