Pakistan has deployed more than 80,000 troops in the tribal areas that are twenty times smaller than Afghanistan where only 40,000 troops are engaged in the war on terror, he said. Durrani said Pakistan has not only arrested and killed more terrorists than any other country but has also suffered casualties more than collectively suffered by coalition forces in Afghanistan. He also talked about the considerable improvement in Pakistan-India relations, the successful elimination of poppy cultivation in Pakistan and appreciated the cooperation extended by the American government and people in the October 8 earthquake relief measures.--SPA www.spa.gov.sa/444939
