Pakistan's federal government has reportedly decided to hold high-level talks next week to take a call on ways to "tackle" and "monitor" the activities of India's premier intelligence agency, Research and Analysis Wing (RAW), in Pakistan.

The meeting will review the agency's involvement in the recent terror attacks in Karachi, Balochistan and other areas, reported the Dawn.

Interior ministry said that discussions will be chaired by Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and will be attended by heads of civilian and military intelligence agencies as well as civilian and military higher-ups.

Following discussions, the government will decide on how to effectively counter and limit RAW's activities in the country and raise the issue at an international level.

Army chief General Raheel Sharif had warned last week that tough measures would be adopted to put an end to the activities of anti-Pakistan foreign spy agencies.

The Interior ministry claimed that the Indian intelligence agency had intensified its efforts to destabilise Pakistan soon after Pakistan and China inked numerous agreements.

The official said that Pakistan had already conveyed the evidences against RAW to the Indian government.
