Pakistan needs to give "real co-operation" to combat Taliban militants in its rugged border zone with Afghanistan, French Defence Minister Michele Alliot-Marie said on Sunday.
"We need a real co-operation of Pakistan but it seems very difficult for them," she said at a press conference at the end of a two-day visit to Afghanistan.
"I think that the border is a very difficult region and we ask Pakistan to make some more efforts to control that zone because we think that a lot of Taliban fighters are coming from there," Alliot-Marie stressed.
Afghanistan and Pakistan accuse each other of not doing enough to fight Taliban militants and terror networks.
