Making decisions through ballot boxes by the Afghan people reflects their determination and keen interest for adopting democratic culture, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif said Sunday.
In a statement, the prime minister said Afghanistan is a brotherly country of Pakistan.
“Participation in the democratic process by the Afghan people would play a significant role to bring peace and stability in the region,” the PM emphasised. He said Pakistan would not only help and support Afghanistan in strengthening democracy, but also work in collaboration with the new leadership in Afghanistan for binging peace and tranquility in the region.
Sharif hoped that not only a peaceful transfer of power may take place in Kabul, as was done in Pakistan last year, but also wished that democracy may flourish in the country.
“This election would prove as a historic moment for the Afghan people in their democratic journey,” he said, adding that he hoped that the recent elections would prove instrumental in creating unity and harmony among the war-torn people.
The prime minister also congratulated Afghan President Hamid Karzai and the people of Afghanistan on successfully holding and completing the electioneering process.
