Pakistan urges Afghanistan to ‘look inward, identify real issues’ instead blaming

Rawalpindi (Staff Report): Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Qamar Javed Bajwa on Tuesday chaired a special Corps Commanders' Conference at the General Headquarters (GHQ) to review the regional security environment urging Afghanistan to "look inward and identify the real issues", instead of blaming Islamabad for every terrorism incident, said a statement issued by Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the military’s public relations wing.

Pakistan's top military commanders urged the Afghan government to "look inward and identify the real issues", instead of blaming Islamabad for recent terrorist incidents in Afghanistan.

The forum expressed solidarity with Afghan people and security forces on the loss of precious lives, and vowed to continue its support and cooperation with Afghanistan in fight against terrorism and militancy.

The conference took exception to the unwarranted accusations and threats against Pakistan in the aftermath of Kabul blast.

The ISPR stated, "It concluded that instead of blaming Pakistan, Afghanistan needs to look inward and identify the real issues."

The forum reiterated Pak Army's resolve to defend the motherland against all types of threat while reaffirming continued support to regional peace and stability.
