COMMENTS

  1. It is absolutely vital that there be increase defence cooperation between Afghanistan and Pakistan in the mutual interest of both countries.

  2. This is the exact problem.
    Pakistani authorities will seek sustainable peace everywhere else excepting for Pakistan.

  3. When your own house is burning you do no go out to save your neighbours.

  4. General is right, Afghan peace impacts Pakistan peace and we all neighbors includiing India, Pak, Bangladesh and Afganistan should live peacfully.

  5. This shows the future is bright for peace and prosperity of the region after the Americans and the NATO leave Afghanistan.

  6. Every terrorist in this world , whether Afghan, Arab, Chechen, Chinese, Somalian, Egyptian, Uzbek etc is present in Pakistan in large numbers have even have pockets of the country ceded to them by the Establishment. Pakistani awam has suffered tremendously due to foolish policies of khakis and Afghans or any other foreign govt will be foolish to trust these khakis.

  7. Pakistan seeks sustainable peace, security in Pakistan

  8. Hiding OBL and Mullah Omar while arming the Taliban are unlikely tactics to achieve what the general claims to want.

    It is strange that Afghan Defence Minister General Bismillah Khan Mohammadi meets the Army Chief General Ashfaq Pervez Kayani and not the Defence Minister of Pakistan. Is it simply a question of War and Piece where only the Army is concerned.
    I wonder why there is a Defence Minister in Pakistan?

  10. Was the Indian army chief’s furious reaction connected to the Afghan, Pakistan military cooperation. Doesn’t look coincidental to me.

  11. General Ashfaq Pervez Kayani said Pakistan sought sustainable peace and security in Afghanistan. let us worry about our stability and security. let us not worry about Afghanistan. We have already paid a heavy price.

    • The two worries are interconnected.

    • I think it is time we start asking this thing from our political leaders. What have they done to improve the security and stability? Pakistan Armed Forces have done enough already. His perspective is correct from Defence point of view and Indians desperately want us out of Afghanistan……and you want this introward approach to florish?

    • Instead….Enter Iran….
      No Fence for Defence!!!
      But first Deport all illegal and jail who got illegitame I.D.
