He emphasized for checking these incursions to avoid derailment of close brotherly relations between the two countries, While referring to two tier Joint Commission on Reconciliation that has been set up by Pakistan and Afghanistan he said that inaugural meeting of the first tier level of the commission led by the chief executives of two countries was held in Islamabad had helped to establish better understanding on both sides. ,The first meeting of the Joint Commission’s second tier level which was held in Kabul on June 29th this year also showed positive outcome he added.

The Prime Minister congratulated Mr. Sedwill on his appointment to his present position. He expressed confidence that his appointment that would be helpful in

promoting peace in the region due to his knowledge and understanding of both the countries acquired through serving in both Afghanistan and Pakistan during his diplomatic career.

The Prime Minister called upon the international community to focus on stability and peace in Afghanistan in the post 2014 scenario as the region cannot afford Afghanistan plunge into chaos again. He said that Pakistan was trying to fight the menace of terrorism despite heavy odds but need international support to sustain its commitment.
