Gen Kayani visits Kabul
KABUL: Army chief General Ashfaq Kayani travelled to Kabul on Tuesday to attend the 23rd meeting of the Tripartite Commission between Afghanistan, Pakistan and NATO to review security along the Pak-Afghan border, a military statement said. Kayani met with US General David D McKiernan, commander of the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan, and General Bismillah Khan, the Afghan army’s chief of general staff. “The meeting reviewed the security situation in areas along the Pak-Afghan border,” the statement said. “They showed satisfaction at the existing level of co-operation and reiterated their resolve and commitment to contribute towards peace and security,” it added. A security official said Kayani’s visit to Kabul was “already planned” before General (r) Pervez Musharraf stepped down. staff report/agencies
