On Monday, Pakistan and Afghanistan had agreed to deploy liaison officers in each other’s capital. Ground Coordination Centers (GCCs) will be established at Torkham and Chaman for intelligence sharing and to monitor the cross-border movement of the militants.
The director generals of Military Operations (DGMOs) of the two countries met in Pakistan’s Rawalpindi to explore ways for further cooperation in security areas.
