This comes as on Thursday, in his first speech after declaring victory, Khan talked about Pakistan\u2019s relations with its neighbors including Afghanistan and India.<\/p>\n
He said Afghanistan has suffered tremendously due to war and violence over the past few decades and that Pakistan is ready to cooperate in ensuring peace in the war-weary country.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe want to work in every possible way to ensure peace in Afghanistan. I would love an open border system like the EU with Afghanistan. Afghanistan is that neighbor of ours that has seen the most human misery and damage in the name of wars. The people of Afghanistan need peace, and Pakistan wants peace in Afghanistan,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
