ISLAMABAD: Pakistan and Afghanistan began on Monday discussing border security arrangements after the completion of drawdown of international coalition forces later this year.
Army Chief Gen Raheel Sharif travelled to Kabul for the discussions with his Afghan counterpart Gen Sher Muhammad Karimi. The talks were also attended by the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) Commander General Joseph Dunford.
“The transfer of security responsibility to Afghan National Security Forces in the wake of US/ISAF drawdown, enhanced bilateralism between Pakistan and Afghanistan with particular emphasis on coordination arrangements along Pakistan-Afghanistan border was deliberated upon during the meeting,” a Pakistan military spokesman said.
Pakistan and Afghanistan share hundreds of miles long porous border that is currently being managed under a tripartite border coordination mechanism/accord involving both countries and ISAF. However, with drawdown of coalition forces from Afghanistan scheduled to be completed later this year, the tripartite arrangement would now be converted into a bilateral one managed by security forces of both countries.
