ISLAMABAD: Members of a delegation of the European Union (EU) called on National Security Adviser retired Lt Gen Nasser Khan Janjua on Tuesday and discussed with him the Strengthening Resilience to Violent Extremism (Strive) project with special reference to Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

The team comprised experts from the EU accompanied by former ambassador Tariq Osman Hyder.

Welcoming the delegation, Mr Janjua praised its endeavour and said Strive was an idea that could work on the rootcause of extremism and terrorism.

He stressed upon the delegation to have a better understanding of the environment of Pakistan.

`To mitigate extremist thought we need to introduce a thought which is superior in its character and narrative. Only that can help change the mind-set,` he said.-APP
