Lahore: Pakistan’s Ambassador to the US Aizaz Chaudhry on Wednesday said, “Pakistan wanted to see a peaceful, stable, prosperous and sovereign Afghanistan.”
Participating in a panel discussion titled ‘Regional Perspective on US Strategy in Afghanistan’ held at the South Asian Centre in Atlantic Council, Washington DC, Ambassador Aizaz Chaudhry strongly condemned the tragic Kabul incident.
He stressed that there was an opportunity for both Pakistan and the United States to work together to achieve peace in Afghanistan.
According to the statement ascribed by him, “Mistrust between the two countries was blocking the progress in achieving the objective of peace. Terrorism under any pretext is not acceptable to us.”
He said Pakistan’s efforts to bring peace in the region would not be interrupted by the rhetoric of the Afghan leadership. Just putting blame on Pakistan, all the time would never help in any manner to achieve the ultimate objective of regional peace, he added.
