Rawalpindi, Oct 20 (TNS): Army chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa strongly condemned the recent terrorist attacks in Afghanistan, saying the two countries have suffered a lot from terrorism.
A day earlier, over 50 Afghan soldiers were killed and nine wounded in a Taliban-claimed assault on a military base in southern Afghanistan.
According to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the chief of army staff (COAS) said during a meeting with Afghan ambassador to Pakistan Hazrat Omar Zakhilwal who called on him at the General Headquarters in Rawalpindi on Friday.
“Both the countries [Afghanistan and Pakistan] have suffered a lot from terrorism and such attacks shall not deter our resolve and commitments for peace in the region,” Gen Qamar said.
The COAS also expressed his sympathies with bereaved Afghan families.
