ISLAMABAD – The Director General Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Major General Asif Ghafoor has said that peace in Afghanistan is imperative for complete stability in the region.
“Fighting war against terrorism was a difficult phase, however, we restored peace on our side and now Afghanistan will have to do so,” he said.
In an interview with a private news channel, he said “peace and stability is the future of Pakistan and we are moving towards it now.”
DG ISPR said Pakistan had a good coordination with International Security Force in Afghanistan and we can achieve peace through effective coordination.
He said terrorists were eliminated through Operation Zarb-e-Azb.
Replying to a question, he said India has been engaged to destabilize Pakistan through subversive activities and arrest of Kulbhushan Jadhav has vindicated our stance.
He said the Taliban had influence in seven tribal agencies in Pakistan’s Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), but the Pakistani nation proved that they were determined to eliminate terrorism.
