NATO must check infiltration from Afghanistan: Gilani

By Irfan Ghauri

ISLAMABAD: It is imperative that NATO and ISAF forces in Afghanistan remain vigilant and effectively curb cross-border infiltrations and the supply of arms to terrorists, said Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani on Monday.

Addressing a joint sitting of parliament, Gilani said Pakistan believed in a regional approach to combat terrorism and promote peace and stability.

Gilani told the session – which was also addressed by the Turkish prime minister – that Pakistan and Turkey had played a pioneering role in promoting regional connectivity.

Gilani said Pakistan was committed to serious, sustained and constructive engagement with India. “We view the composite dialogue as a win-win process that advances the cause of peace in the region.

Gilani also vowed to take action wherever the government’s writ was challenged.
