The meeting expressed particular concern over the security situation in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The federal government’s position is that effective coordination between the federation and the provincial government is essential to improving law and order in the province.
The meeting stressed improving synergy among all relevant institutions in the fight against terrorism to ensure peace and stability.
The meeting took place as the PTI prepares to launch its long march from Peshawar on October 4, with tight security arrangements in place in Islamabad. Authorities have placed containers on major routes leading to the federal capital.
Political observers say the Zardari-Shehbaz meeting was significant in finalising the political strategy and security arrangements ahead of the long march.
