Anti-terror war to continue: PM Gilani
ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani said Pakistan will extend all possible succour to Afghanistan for its reconstruction, Geo News reported Thursday.Addressing a joint press conference here with Afghan President Hamid Karzai after signing the MoU, he said Pakistan has decided to enhance its cooperation with Afghanistan to eliminate the terrorism, adding bilateral ties between the two countries would be furthered.
‘We want to take the strategic partnership with Afghanistan forward,’ he added saying the war against terrorism will continue.
Hamid Karzai said the destiny, grieves and happiness of both the countries are shared, adding, ‘We are fighting against terrorism.’
He said the ties between the two countries are being strengthened.
Responding a query, Karzai appreciated India efforts in Afghan reconstruction.
Responding a question regarding drone attacks in Pakistan, he said the issue is Pakistan-specific; accordingly, it was discussed neither in Afghanistan nor in the recent meetings in Pakistan.
PM Gilani said the drone attacks are counter-productive, as they force local people to join hands with terrorists against state and the Army.
