Islamabad, July 10, 2021 (PPI-OT):Prime Minister’s National Security Adviser Dr Moeed Yusuf says Pakistan’s role in Afghanistan peace process could merely be of a facilitator and anything beyond this is not possible. In an interview with Voice of America, he said Pakistan has provided all possible assistance and cooperation on the issue of Afghanistan. He said the United States has repeatedly claimed that Pakistan is a constructive partner for peace in Afghanistan.

Expressing Pakistan’s concerns over the current situation in Afghanistan, he said Pakistan is saying for the past 20 years that in the context of Afghan history and regional situation, victory through war is not possible. Therefore, the issue should be resolved only through political reconciliation. Dr Moeed said Pakistan has persuaded the Taliban to negotiate with the United States for lasting peace and stability in the region.
