| Pakistan takes up cross-border attacks with NATO, ISAF |
| 2012-07-27 |
| ISLAMABAD: Pakistan said on Thursday that it is actively engaged with Afghanistan and the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) on the issue of cross-border attacks from Afghan province of Kunar and Nooristan. The Foreign Office, on Thursday, said that it hoped that steps would be taken to stop such raids. Foreign Office Spokesman Moazzam Khan said that Pakistan took the attacks seriously and hoped that corrective measures would be taken soon by the Afghan government. Rocket firing by militants from across the Durand Line, and raids on Pakistani checkposts along the border have been causing causalities among Pakistani soldiers. Pakistani forces started shelling across the border in Kunar and Nooristan areas in response, which triggered a strong reaction from NATO and Afghanistan. Khan said that Salahuddin Rabbani, head of High Peace Council, would visit Pakistan soon. Pakistan would extend its full cooperation and support to the High Peace Council as it was also indicated in the joint statement issued on prime ministerÂ’s visit to Afghanistan, he added. |
