It is crucial to address this escalating threat to ensure the safety and security of the region. Diplomatic dialogue between Pakistan and Afghanistan is vital to establishing clear boundaries and holding each other accountable for any negligence in combating terrorism.

What might be more helpful is if Pakistan strengthened its internal security measures and eliminated any existing safe havens within its own borders. By establishing a comprehensive framework for collaboration, intelligence sharing, and joint operations, the nations of the region can work towards eradicating the menace of terrorism and ensuring peace and stability.
