Pakistan, Afghanistan must work together to address terrorism: Zadari

Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Tuesday said that Pakistan will work with counterparts in the Afghanistan government to address the challenge of terrorism in the region.

In an interview with Qatar-based news network Al Jazeera on Tuesday, the foreign minister said that Pakistan believes in a peaceful neighborhood.

He said that it was decided by Pakistan’s civil and military leadership to not tolerate anyone who violates the law of the land.

This, he said, was in stark contrast to the policy of the previous government which pursued a policy of appeasement.

He said terrorism affects the people of Pakistan and Afghanistan and it needs to be tackled.
