Afghan ambassador to Pakistan, Janan Mosazai, has said that the security pact signed between Afghanistan and the United States — an agreement to allow international forces to stay in the country beyond 2014 – poses no threat to neighbours.
Speaking at a trilateral summit on Sunday, Mosazai urged friendly countries, including Pakistan and China, to assist Afghanistan in its efforts to secure peace with the Taliban and other armed opponents.
The two-day Afghanistan-Pakistan-China dialogue is being attended by intellectuals, diplomats and experts from the three countries to draw a road map on the future of Afghanistan.
“It is important to point out that a key element of our national strategy will be to continue efforts to launch a substantive and meaningful Afghan-led and Afghan-owned process of direct negotiations for peace and reconciliation with the armed opposition, including the Afghan Taliban,” said Mosazai.
“As we pursue this goal, we will continue to rely on help and support from our friends and partners, including both Pakistan and China.”
