We continue to discuss Afghanistan in detail, including through our annual counterterrorism dialogue and other bilateral consultations,& the official said.Islamabad has time and again urged Kabul to take meaningful action against terrorists using Afghan soil to launch attacks inside Pakistan.However, the IEA has repeatedly rejected claims of militant groups in the country and have said they will not allow any group to threaten a country from Afghanistan.On Tuesday, the Pakistan Army&s top commanders were briefed on how terrorist groups operating from Afghanistan pose a threat to regional and global security, besides acting as proxies against Pakistan and its economic interests, especially the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).A day ago, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said security forces had killed seven terrorists trying to infiltrate the Pakistan-Afghanistan border in the North Waziristan district.In a statement, the military&s media wing had said the security forces on April 16 had detected a movement of a group of seven terrorists near the border in the Spinkai area of Ghulam Khan in the tribal district, Pakistan&s The News reported.The post US asks IEA to ensure Afghan soil not used by terrorists first appeared on Ariana News.
