| Pakistan demands Kabul, NATO for strong measures for protection of Pak-Afghan border |
| 2014-04-18 |
| [The Nation (Pak)] At her weekly news briefing today, Foreign Office Spokesperson Tasnim Aslam said protecting this border is the shared responsibility of both the sides. Pakistain, however, has carried an extra burden regarding the protection and management of the border. We have more than twelve hundred posts and also undertake surveillance. She said Pakistain is also keen to introduce biometric system but we also want equally strong measures from NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A collection of multinational and multilingual and multicultural armed forces, all of differing capabilities, working toward a common goal by pulling in different directions... and Afghan sides for management of the border. When asked to comment on the perception that Abdullah Abdullah ... the former foreign minister of the Northern Alliance government, advisor to Masood, and candidate for president against Karzai. Dr. Abdullah was born in Kabul and is half Tadjik and half Pashtun... who is likely to become the next Afghan president is more pro-Indian and anti Pakistain, the spokesperson dismissed the perception that any Afghan leader is against Pakistain. She said it is up to the people of Afghanistan to elect their new government. Pakistain, she said, has repeatedly said that we are not supporting any Afghan party. We do not know who will form the next government there, but whosoever forms the government we will focus on building bilateral relations with the neighboring country and engage with their leaders for this purpose. She said Pakistain wants peace and stability in Afghanistan as it is in the self interest of Pakistain. Stability and and peace in Afghanistan will help us not only in countering terrorism and violence but also open new vistas for joint ventures and trade with the Central Asian States. |

| #1 We have more than twelve hundred posts and also undertake surveillance. Not to mention, billeting, messing, communications, ammo resupply, and bus transport for the Taliban to major Pakistani cities and villages for R&R. |
