rainman + 263 April 22, 2019 Iran and Pakistan will form a joint quick reaction force to combat militant activity on their shared border, Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani said on Monday during a televised press conference with Pakistan’s Prime Minister Imran Khan.Khan arrived in Iran on Sunday to discuss security and regional issues, Iranian state TV reported, a day after Islamabad urged Tehran to act against militants behind killings in Pakistan’s Baluchistan province. Relations between Iran and Pakistan have been strained in recent months, with both sides accusing each other of not doing enough to stamp out militants allegedly sheltering across the border. “We agreed to increase the security cooperation of the two countries, our border forces, our intelligence forces,” Rouhani said during the conference, which was broadcast live on state TV. “And also to form a joint quick reaction force on the border of the two countries for fighting terrorism.” Khan said that militant activity at the border could be a source of tension. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What he just said, is this a admission that there are terrorist groups operating from Pakistan's soil! Indeed, the best confirmation of it... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

50 shades of black + 254 April 22, 2019 This is appreciable that he admits it honestly. Some hope is visible from him. It's good that IK is speaking publicly and want some change. Now, Pakistan's army can not deny, he's creating pressure on their own army which is the main hurdle. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
