pak-afghan engagement
ISLAMABAD
Former National Assembly Speaker Asad Qaiser on Tuesday stressed the need for Pakistan to engage Afghanistan through diplomatic channels, saying that while the government’s concerns regarding the security situation are understandable, dialogue remains the only sustainable path forward.
Addressing a press conference, Qaiser questioned why Pakistan is reluctant to open channels of communication with Kabul when “we can talk to India despite severe tensions.” Muhammad Zubair and Taimur Jhagra were also present on the occasion.
He said that durable peace in the region cannot be achieved without meaningful engagement between Pakistan and Afghanistan, adding that PTI Chairman Imran Khan had always advocated for structured dialogue with Kabul.
