A comprehensive briefing was given to Islamabad-based ambassadors/heads of missions on Pakistan's counterterrorism efforts as well as RAW-NDS nexus to undermine the country's internal stability, the Foreign Office said. The Foreign Office in a statement said the briefing was given by Foreign Minister Khawaja Asif, Foreign Secretary, Chief of General Staff (CGS) Lieutenant General Bilal Akbar, Director General Military Operations (DGMO) Major General Sahir Shamshad Mirza and Director General Military Intelligence (DG MI) Major General Asim Muneer at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

It stated that the briefing covered Pakistan's achievements and challenges in counterterrorism efforts, and combating violent extremism, unprecedented escalations of Indian ceasefire violations at the Line of Control (LoC) and the Working Boundary (WB), and the gross Indian atrocities in the Occupied Kashmir. Welcoming the participants, the foreign minister stated that the briefing has been arranged to inform the diplomatic corps about the massive counterterrorism efforts that Pakistan has undertaken in the last 16 years, more so the developments in the last 4 years.

"They [envoys] were provided details about the success of Operation Zarb-e-Azb and Radd-ul-Fasaad which have eliminated terrorist presence in Pakistan," it stated, adding they were also briefed about the terrorist threat emanating from the safe havens and sanctuaries in Afghanistan, which is resulting in loss of human lives and damage to infrastructure in Pakistan.

The statement further said that details were also provided on how Indian belligerence and unhelpful posturing is distracting Pakistan's counterterrorism efforts and how an active RAW/NDS nexus is verifiably working to undermine Pakistan's internal stability.
