Pakistan wants lasting peace in Afghanistan: Sherpao
 Pakistan is a staunch supporter for the supremacy of law and lasting peace in Afghanistan, said Interior Minister Aftab Sherpao on Saturday.
| "We're not too good at it here, but we rilly, rilly support it there!" |
The minister was addressing the passing out ceremony of 37 Afghan Police at the National Police Academy. He said Pakistan was actively involved in the reconstruction of war ravaged Afghanistan. Pakistan is training Afghan police officers, which would be immensely helpful to maintain law and order in Afghanistan, he said.
| Good Gawd! I hope they're not training them to be like Pak police officers! |
The training not only improved the skills of the Afghan police officers, it also strengthened existing relations between Pakistan and Afghanistan, he said.
"See? We're just like you!"
"No, you ain't! You people are crazy!" |
The interior minister said the Afghan officers would play a crucial role in their departments. The security that they would help provide was important for economic activity to flourish in Afghanistan, he said. Mr Sherpao said it was an honour for Pakistan that Afghan police officers ranking from captains to generals were being trained at National Academy and hoped that the next batch of Afghan officers would come to Pakistan soon. Mr Sherpao praised the academy's performance. He said 426 law enforcement officers had been trained here last year and they had performed well since graduating.
