- NA speaker says Pakistan ready for meaningful partnership with Afghanistan
National Assembly Speaker Ayaz Sadiq on Monday said that the Afghan leadership will visit Pakistan soon, as they have assured their cooperation in cementing bilateral relations between Pakistan and Afghanistan.
The entire political leadership of Pakistan spoke with one voice for developing meaningful partnership between Pakistan and Afghanistan, he said while talking to journalists after returning from Afghanistan along with a high-level parliamentary delegation.
“It’s time we move forward in confidence and trust. Pakistan will continue playing its role in improving relations with neighboring countries,” Ayaz said. He said that Pakistan wants to promote peace in the region and it would continue its endeavour to obtain this objective.
He expressed the hope that the visit of the high-level parliamentary delegation would open a new chapter in the bilateral relations of the two countries. He said that the main objective behind this visit was to reviving old relations between the two countries and addressing concerns.
He termed the visit as very successful, saying there was representation of all provinces and parliamentary parties. He said that both the sides raised issues and detailed discussions were held on these issues. He said that the parliament, people and the government of Afghanistan welcomed the delegation.
Ayaz said that the delegation has taken an initiative to break the ice between the two sides by making sincere efforts in bridging the differences between Pakistan and Afghanistan. He said that the visit would pave way for lasting peace and friendship between the two countries.
He said that it was mutually agreed to take full advantage of Pakistan’s first step of sending a goodwill delegation and turn it into a sustained process in order to remove any arising irritants. It is pertinent to mention here that a 17-member delegation visited Afghanistan comprising the entire political spectrum, represented in the both houses of the parliament.
Unless Pakistani establishment recognises govt in Kabul as the one with whom it must deal, this meeting would be futile. Pakistani support to Taliban must end forth with.
