The terrorists pose a threat to our forces on both sides of the border. It is easy to see that they are working against efforts to restore peace in the region. It only makes sense for both nations to combine their strength against the common enemies. The ANSF have come a long way in regards to gaining the capability to counter the threat of terrorism. We have full confidence in their ability to negate the threat of violence in the region. The terrorists see our nations as a common threat to their terrorist agenda, and therefore, it is imperative for the regional partners to stand united against the enemies of peace.
