Chief of Army Staff General Raheel Sharif Monday said India is not serious towards resolution of Kashmir dispute. Addressing US CENTCOM Conference in Germany, the CoAS said terrorists could move across borders because of no effective border management systems in place. This is exploited by the anti-Pakistan intelligence agencies such as RAW.
The Army Chief said a stable Afghanistan is a guarantee to a peaceful and stable region. He said peace in Afghanistan could be achieved through a comprehensive and co-ordinated strategy, says a press issued by the Inter Services Public Relations here. In his address at the forum, General Raheel Sharif highlighted the regional security environment, common challenges and way forward for the participating countries.
The CoAS said that Pakistan's counter terrorism efforts have turned the tide against terrorism in the country. He said Pakistan is the biggest victim of terrorism both in terms of human lives and finances. While elaborating the concept and success of the Zarb-e-Azb, CoAS said that Pakistani security forces have valiantly fought terrorists upfront through an across the board, indiscriminate operation against terrorists of all hue and colour alongwith their abettors, financiers and sympathisers.
He said that with unflinching support of entire nation terrorists' ideologies and their narrative have been defeated and their sanctuaries and hideouts completely eliminated. Our efforts against residual threat are still continuing, and can't be entirely eliminated without optimum cooperation between neighbouring countries.
The CoAS said that success of our counter terrorism operation is a common dividend which should be optimised and shared. He also offered to benefit from Pakistan's initiative and experiences in terms of regulation of cross border movement, socio-economic development of border regions and enhanced cooperation in terms of intelligence sharing. These challenges were being exploited through confrontationalist and supervise approaches by hostile Intelligence agencies like RAW that spills blood of innocent people through indirect strategy. Highlighting the ongoing atrocities in IOK, the CoAS said India is unwilling to address historical disputes like Kashmir, that directly fan misunderstanding and feed into persistent regional culture of conflict.
The CoAS offered unlimited and sustained support to all participating countries in the conference particularly Afghanistan. Beside the host General Joseph Votel, Commander US CENTCOM, Chiefs of Armies of Pakistan, Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyz republic, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan, are participating in the conference. The participants expressed their desire to improve multilateral military cooperation amongst their countries, in order to coherently meet the emerging security challenges and jointly defeat the menace of terrorism comprehensively.
