Islamabad, August 08, 2021 (PPI-OT):Pakistan has categorically rejected Afghan representative’s statement that propagated disinformation and levelled baseless allegations against Pakistan at the United Nations Security Council with a view to mislead the international community. Foreign Office spokesperson Zahid Hafeez Chaudhari, in a statement, said Pakistan urges the Government of Afghanistan, once again, to refrain from the blame-game and engage with Pakistan in a meaningful manner to address the challenges to peace, security and progress in the region.

He said it is a matter of deep regret that, as the closest neighbour of Afghanistan, whose contribution in the ongoing peace process has been recognized by the international community, Pakistan’s request to the President of the Council to address the Council’s session and present its perspective on the Afghan peace process and the way forward, was not acceded to.

The Foreign Office spokesperson said we emphatically reiterate that there is no military solution to the conflict in Afghanistan and that a negotiated political settlement is the only way forward for durable peace and security in the country.
