Addressing at a ceremony in Royal United Services Institute, the army chief said that disputes between Pakistan and India reside in Kashmir issue and Indian violations of ceasefire along Line of Control (LoC) are further creating tensions in the region.

He told participants that security environment of Pakistan is improving as a result of successful military operation Zarb-e-Azb and situations are suitable for upward economic trajectory.
Talking about peace in Afghanistan, the COAS said that Pakistan is ready to cooperate with Afghan leadership at any level to bring real peace in the war torn country. He once again urged Afghan government to continue a process of reconciliation while keeping an eye on detractors and spoilers.
