RAWALPINDI, Aug 25 (INP):  Army Chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa stressed coordinated efforts to cope the menace of terrorism and restoration of peace in the region. “A trust-based coordinated response is required against terrorists, who are the common enemies of Pakistan and Afghanistan, and the regional media can play a vital role in mitigating the negativity created by such hostile forces,” he made these views while talking to 9-member Afghan media team in Rawalpindi. “Afghanistan is our brotherly neighboring country and terrorists are our common enemy and it can be eliminated by joint efforts,” army chief said.
