Pakistan and Afghanistan need to give a coordinated response to militants to fight terrorism instead of playing the "blame-game" in dealing with the issue, Pakistan army chief Qamar Javed Bajwa has said.
Bajwa asked Afghanistan to play a role in mitigating negativity created by the "hostile forces" between the two countries.
Pakistan is hosting a nine-member delegation of journalistas from Afghanistan.
"Pakistan and Afghanistan were brotherly neighbours and a coordinated response against terrorists was needed instead of blame-game to counter their common enemy," he said.
The Chief of Army Staff General said Pakistan took operations against terrorists of all hue and colour and there are no safe havens inside Pakistan which are being used against Afghanistan.
He said that effective management of common border was a key and Pakistan was taking measures like fencing and establishment of new border forts and posts to check illegal movements.
