Pakistan’s Foreign Office has said it continues to raise concerns about terrorist networks operating from Afghan territory with international partners, including the United Kingdom.

Spokesperson Sajjad Haider Khan made the remarks at his weekly media briefing in Islamabad on Friday. He rejected allegations of civilian casualties during Pakistan’s counterterrorism operations and restated worries about militants based across the Afghan border.

He said Pakistan keeps the issue before international partners, among them the United Kingdom. He also said discussions on a proposed transfer of Afghan refugees from the United States were still under way with relevant parties, and that no final arrangement had been announced.
