Pakistani Minister for Interior Affairs Aftab Ahmad Khan Sherpao has appreciated Bangladesh's success in tackling terrorism under the leadership of Prime Minister Khaleda Zia.

He said terrorism is a more or less a problem in all Saarc countries.

Sherpao, who is in Dhaka for attending the Saarc Home Ministers' meeting, made the comment when he paid a courtesy call on Khaleda at her office yesterday.

Khaleda said her government has been able to remove terrorism with the support of all sections of people, including religious leaders.

She said Saarc has been passing through a phase of implementation of decisions. Hence the ministerial meetings will help implement the decisions.
