Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Raheel Sharif on Wednesday met Afghan President Ashraf Ghani, who was here to attend the Heart of Asia Conference.
According to Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), General Raheel assured the Afghan president of full support in intelligence sharing, operational coordination and reconciliation process for bringing peace and stability in Afghanistan.
The Afghan president, while emphasising on the need of enhancing bilateral relations between both the countries, vowed to work together to eliminate the common threat of terrorism.
"We are committed to work together with Afghanistan on the basis of mutual interest and respect. We should pursue a strategic relationship that is enduring and enhances the security and concomitant prosperity of both brotherly countries," the army chief was quoted as saying.
Ghani, on the other hand, acknowledged the successes achieved by Pakistan's armed forces in war against terrorism.
In his speech at Heart of Asia Conference, the Afghan President had lauded Pakistan's decision to launch operation against militancy, but said the action had created unintended consequences bringing about the displacement of a significant number of militant groups on Afghan soil.
