General Raheel says he expects international community to play its part for regional peace; terms CPEC project a ‘game-changer’
Days after Afghan chief executive Abdullah Abdullah claimed the presence of terrorist sanctuaries and support networks in Pakistan, Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Raheel Sharif said on Thursday the country was against proxies and would not allow them to operate from its soil.
According to DG ISPR Lt Gen Asim Bajwa, army chief while speaking to representatives of the International Institute for Strategic Studies and House of Commons in London said Pakistan was fighting various terrorist groups and no new entities would be allowed to emerge.
General Raheel said funding of all terrorist organisations had to be checked for long-term success, adding that terrorism was a universal issue, which required a global response.

“Want to finish terrorists and their nurseries,” said the ISPR statement. “Expect international community to play its part for regional peace.”
The ongoing Operation Zarb-e-Azb’s had a discernible effect to pursue sleeper cells of terrorists across the country, added the COAS.
Terming the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor a game-changer, the army chief hoped it will bring prosperity in the area.
“Will do everything to make it (the project) success, whole region (is) to benefit (from the project).”
