RAWALPINDI: Inter Services Public Relations Director General Major General Asif Ghafoor says that there are no safe havens of terrorists in Pakistan.

“For us, Pakistan is important more than anything else. We also told American authorities that there doesn’t exist any terrorists’ network, including that of Haqqani’s, in Pakistan,” DG ISPR said in a tweet.

His remarks came in the response to US President Donald Trump’s Afghan policy statement where he blamed Pakistan for providing safe havens to terrorists coming from Afghanistan.

The ISPR DG further said that an American delegation recently visited Pakistan and acknowledged the Pakistan’s efforts to uproot terrorism.

Last week, a delegation of United States headed by Commander US Central Command (CENTCOM) General Joseph L. Votel visited North Waziristan Agency and lauded efforts and sacrifices of Pakistan Army and local tribes for re-establishing peace in the area, according to a statement of ISPR.
