WASHINGTON: Pakistan army spokesman, Lt. Gen. Asim Saleem Bajwa, on Friday called upon international community to initiate a coordinated approach against Daesh, declaring the terrorist group a threat for the entire world, Samaa reported Friday.
“Daesh is a threat for entire world against which the world community must come up with joint and coordinated efforts,” said Bajwa, the Director General ISPR, at a press briefing in Washington.
“In Pakistan, there is zero-tolerance for Daesh. The terrorist group can’t defeat international forces,” he affirmed.
About the ongoing Zarb-e-Azb operation in restive tribal areas along Afghan border, Bajwa said 90 per cent of the offensive has been completed; however, he did not give any timeframe for its completion.
“After operation in South and North Waziristan, many of the terrorists entered Khyber Agency and many crossed Afghan border… but they will be defeated soon,” he said.
Bajwa’s press briefing came as Pakistan army chief General Raheel Sharif held key meetings with US civil and military leadership at Pentagon and White House during five-day visit to Washington.
On Thursday, Raheel Sharif met US Vice President Joe Biden at the White House and discussed matters relating to bilateral relations and regional issues. – Samaa
