According to Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the Army Chief expressed these views while chairing a high level security meeting at General Headquarters (GHQ) in Rawalpindi.
Referring to deteriorating relations between Pakistan and Afghanistan, the CoAS said, "Terrorists are our common enemy." The CoAS said that, "Pakistan and Afghanistan have fought against terrorism and shall continue this effort together." He directed for more effective border coordination and cooperation with Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF) 'to prevent cross border movement of terrorists including all types of illegal movement.' The CoAS also welcomed recent proposals from Afghan authorities to take forward the mutual coordination for result oriented efforts against terrorism.
