The army chief offered Pakistan’s complete support in achieving shared interests in the war against terrorism, including training and capacity building of the Afghan security forces.

Both sides also agreed on the framework for working towards a peaceful environment that is conducive to the political process essential for enduring Afghan peace and regional stability. There was also a consensus on regular and focused dialogue at multiple levels to evolve the bilateral process for minimizing misunderstanding, managing crisis situations and enhancing cooperation in order to bring peace and stability in the region, the ISPR said further.

According to a statement issued by Presidential Palace, Ghani marked the meeting as a new season of relationships between Afghanistan and Pakistan and said good opportunities of cooperation are being provided and both countries should get the most out of the current situation.

According to the statement, Ghani emphasized that task teams should be established by both sides in different sectors to form a clear cooperation framework and to take practical steps in this regard. Ghani also said a monitoring mechanism should be established to make sure both sides implement their promises and that deadlines should be imposed.
