Eliminating terror sanctuaries in Afghanistan vital to regional security: Chaudhry

[FalconsForPeace]

Pakistan's Ambassador to the United States Aizaz Ahmad Chaudhry Tuesday said that it was necessary to eliminate terror sanctuaries in Afghanistan for the sake of regional security, reiterating that there is no military solution to the Afghan issue.

Speaking to Pakistani journalists, Chaudhry reiterated that Pakistan would not let its soil to be used against any country and it hopes for the same from other states.

He said that there is no military solution to the Afghan issue, noting that unrest in Afghanistan has always caused damage to Pakistan.

"We want to sincerely participate in all efforts aimed at restoring peace in Afghanistan. Pakistan and the United States have been working together for this purpose and will continue to do so," the Pakistani diplomat said.

Speaking with regard to China, he said Pakistan has cordial ties with China, but its relations with the US are also significant enough.

Let's hope that's true then.

He says this while also saying it is "necessary to eliminate terror sanctuaries in Afghanistan". The word "eliminate" strongly connotes military action especially as Mr.Chaudhry singles out only one part of the problem (sanctuaries) instead of giving the typical generalised diplomatic statement of "combatting terrorism". In addition, I would like to know of a country that has "eliminate[d] terror sanctuaries" without the use of military force.
