RAWALPINDI: Representatives of the Pakistan Army held a meeting with the Nato-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) and the Afghan National Army at a border coordination centre in Torkham on Wednesday, DawnNews reported.

The Pakistan Army was represented by Director General Military Operations Major General Ishfaq Nadeem Ahmed.

According to a statement by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the meeting was held in an effort to improve coordination between the three forces.

"The meeting is part of a tripartite engagement to discuss and improve various coordination measures on Pak-Afghan border," said the statement.

This is the first meeting between the three forces after the deadly US airstrikes on a Salala checkpost that killed 24 Pakistani soldiers on Nov 26 last year.

General Carsten Jacobson, spokesman for the ISAF in Kabul, told AFP he was unaware of the talks.
