Governor Punjab Chaudhry Sarwar Sunday termed Prime Minister Imran Khan as “Ambassador of Peace” and said that Pakistan was working on the front line for peace in the whole region including Afghanistan.
Talking to media on Sunday, Sarwar said ignoring Afghanistan would be tantamount to inviting disaster. European countries and United States must stand by Afghanistan. Saudi Arabia’s announcement of 1 billion riyals aid to Afghanistan is a positive step, he added.
“Pakistan, under the leadership of Prime Minister Imran Khan has played a true and exemplary role for peace and stability in Afghanistan and unfortunately by each passing day in Afghanistan , the economic and public problems are increasing” Sarwar said, while talking to media.
Punjab governor said that under these circumstances, the world should go ahead and play its role in helping Afghanistan without any preconditions. If the situation in Afghanistan worsens, it will affect not only Pakistan or the region but the whole world.
He said it was also an honor for Pakistan to host the Foreign Ministers’ Meeting of Islamic countries and through this meeting Pakistan has once again stepped forward and fulfilled its responsibility for peace and stability in Afghanistan. The Saudi government’s announcement of aid to Afghanistan is welcomed. Pakistan will also play its role in providing financial assistance to Afghanistan.
