Pakistan must ensure that its soil is not used for any terrorist attack against the neighbours, a top American General has said. US Central Command commander General Joseph Votel conveyed this to Islamabad during a visit this week. The US Embassy in Islamabad, in a statement, said, Votel emphasised that all parties must work to ensure it. The statement also underlined the need to further strengthen US and Pakistani military-to-military relations.
