The Director General (DG) of Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Major General Babar Iftikhar on July 17, speaking of the Afghan border, said that "all illegal crossing points have been sealed" and that deployment of troops to notified points has been ramped up, reports The News. "Pakistan's peace heavily depends on peace in Afghanistan," the DG ISPR said. He said that as long as Afghanistan is peaceful and stable, "it does not matter who is in power in Kabul". He said that the Pakistan Army is "keeping a close eye" on the situation in the region and is "playing its role with utmost seriousness" for the successful outcome of the Afghan peace process. "Pakistan has spared no effort for the peace process," he said, adding that the country is "not a guarantor". "Ultimately, it is up to the Afghans to decide how to proceed forward," the DG ISPR said.
