No military solution to Afghan issue: Nato

BRUSSELS - The Nato expressed satisfaction over the Pakistani armed forces’ campaign against militants along the country’s frontier with Afghanistan at its annual ministerial conference in Brussels on Wednesday.
In a joint communique issued by the Foreign Ministers of the North Atlantic Council, the Nato also appreciated the improving relationship between Afghanistan and Pakistan.
“We welcome closer Nato-Isaf/Afghan-Pakistani coordination through the tripartite commission and other fora, and will take steps to improve border security, including exploring of the establishment of more border coordination centres and other possible joint initiatives,” read the document. It was referring to the plan to establish six additional border coordination centres in addition to the one set up at the Khyber border.
Nato’s satisfaction with the centre, where Isaf and Pakistani forces share intelligence reports from their respective sides of the border, is likely to bring about setting up of more such centres.
“Nato is open to closer military-to-military cooperation and enhanced high-level political dialogue with Pakistan.”
