ISLAMABAD, Aug 24 (TNS): Spokesperson for the foreign office Nafees Zakaria has said ‘there can be no moving ahead’ unless sacrifices of Pakistan to counter terrorism are acknowledged.
In a TV interview, Zakaria in reaction to Donald Trump’s statement concerning Pakistan said that United States (US) military generals as well as security authorities have admitted that there are no safe havens of terrorists in Pakistan.
They have admitted that terror networks operate in Afghanistan to carry out attacks in parts of Pakistan, he added.
