Former officials call for India-Pakistan anti-terror cooperation

Retired senior intelligence officials from India and Pakistan have called for anti-terror cooperation between the two neighbors.

The security and intelligence services in India and Pakistan should learn from each other's experience and lessons in their respective efforts to deal with terrorism, said the former officials, who met Thursday in the framework of the Ottawa Dialogue, a University of Ottawa program.

The two countries should cooperate to stem cross-border crimes and jointly fight terrorist groups that pose threat to both countries.

India and Pakistan should establish and formalize contacts at official level to materialize cooperation, they said. Endi
