Military solution has totally failed in Afghanistan
All issues of the region should be sorted out through dialogue including the Afghan problem
ISLAMABAD Jan 30 (TNS): Foreign Office Spokesman Dr Muhammad Faisal, in an interview with a radio channel said Pakistan supports all peace initiatives that are owned and led by Afghans.
The spokesman said Quadrilateral Consultative Group involving Pakistan, Afghanistan, China and the United States would be the most appropriate forum to take the peace process forward.
To a question, he said military solution has totally failed in Afghanistan. He pointed out that all sorts of weapons and ammunition were used in Afghanistan during the last seventeen years.
The spokesman said all issues of the region should be sorted out through dialogue including the Afghan problem.
He emphasized the need for addressing Pakistan’s concern about Afghan issue.
When asked about possible outcome of the Kabul process next month, Dr. Muhammad Faisal said it depends on the attitude of the Afghan Government. He said there are issues like repatriation of Afghan refugees to their homeland with dignity and honour, exponential rise in drugs and poppy cultivation and use of the drug money to fuel the war economy and attacks on Pakistan side from Afghan soil.
