Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, who is on a three-day official visit to Bosnia, on Wednesday said Islamabad wants peaceful settlement of matters with India.

Addressing the Bosnian Parliamentary group, Prime Minister Sharif said there is no presence of Daesh in Pakistan, while adding that his country has effectively handled the threat from Al-Qaeda and Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), reported Geo News.

Nawaz Sharif said Pakistan has paid a heavy price for war against terrorism. "We have destroyed the safe havens and sanctuaries of Al-Qaeda and TTP," he said.

The premier said that Pakistan is determined to end the common menace of terrorism.
