Pak-Afghan spy agencies sign MoU to conduct joint anti-terror operations
 
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and Afghanistan’s National Directorate of Security (NDS) have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to share intelligence and conduct coordinated operations against terrorists, DawnNews reported on Monday.

Pakistan Army’s media wing head, Major General Asim Bajwa, also confirmed the signing of the MoU in a tweet late Monday night.


According to the agreement, both spy agencies will identify common enemies and carry out joint operations on either side of the border.

The signing of the security agreement between the two countries comes almost a week after Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and army chief General Raheel Sharif visited Kabul to discuss bilateral relations between Pakistan and Afghanistan.

During his trip to Afghanistan, Pakistan Army chief General Raheel had said the territories of Pakistan and Afghanistan will be not be used against each other, adding that Afghanistan’s enemies are Pakistan’s enemies.

During the trip, Nawaz Sharif had also strongly condemned the recent surge in Taliban attacks in Afghanistan, adding that all terrorist sanctuaries when found will be eliminated by direct action. “In case of terrorist activity, both Pakistan and Afghanistan retain the right of counter actions in conjunction,” the premier had said.
