Referring to Afghanistan and Pakistan-US relations, the COAS said no other country has more interest for peace in Afghanistan than Pakistan.
He said more than financial or material assistance, “we seek acknowledgement of our decades long contributions towards regional peace and stability, understanding of our challenges and most importantly the sacrifices Pakistani nation and its security forces have rendered in fight against terrorism and militancy.”
