Rawalpindi, May 13 (ANI): The Pakistan Army has held preliminary bilateral talks with the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in Rawalpindi in connection with the tripartite commission meeting, a press release said.
The ISAF delegation arrived for significant talks that Pakistan has hosted with the international military alliance and the Afghan military for a year, in a sign that tensions between Pakistan and the US are easing, reports The Express Tribune.
The ISAF delegation was led by Commander Isaf General John Allen and Pakistan Army delegation by Chief of Army General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani.
The ISPR statement said that the talks focused on operations in border areas and coordination mechanisms to avoid untoward incidents in the future.
The tripartite meeting, between Kayani, Allen and Afghan military chief General Sher Muhammad Karimi, will be the first since NATO airstrikes on a Pakistani security forces check post near the Afghan border which resulted in the deaths of 24 soldiers last November.
"The tripartite commission is expected to meet after the arrival of Afghan army chief, General Sher Muhammad Karimi on Sunday," a senior security official said.
The commission will focus on enhancing measures along the Pak-Afghan border and to improve cooperation at operational and tactical levels, he added. (ANI)
