NATO and Pakistan boost cooperation
08 May 2007
1 MIN READ
NATO and Pakistan agreed to hold regular high-level political exchanges during the first visit by a NATO Secretary General to the country, 8 May.
Putting in place a stronger political relationship was the focus of meetings between NATO Secretary General De Hoop Scheffer and President Musharraf, Prime Minister Aziz and Foreign Minister Kasuri.
They discussed the broad range of cooperation between NATO and Pakistan and how it can be developed, including by NATO opening its schools to Pakistani officers.
More to be done on Afghanistan
The Secretary General also discussed deepening cooperation, including with Afghanistan, on bringing security and stability to Afghanistan.
This includes stemming cross-border support to extremists in Afghanistan, where the Secretary General said that all parties need to do more.
Mr. De Hoop Scheffer stressed that instability, extermism and terrorism in Afghanistan also pose a threat to Pakistan, as well as the wider international community.
Work is continuing on a ‘lines of communication’ agreement that would allow for the transit of NATO personnel and equipment through Pakistan to support the Alliance’s mission in Afghanistan.
Political and practical cooperation between NATO and Pakistan has been increasing since 2005 when the Alliance launched a large-scale airlift operation to assist in the aftermath of the devastating earthquake that struck Pakistan in October that year.
