ISLAMABAD:
Pakistan and China have agreed to become ‘guarantors’ of a possible peace deal between Afghanistan government and Afghan Taliban, officials stated.
“We are ready to go the extra mile. We are even willing to become guarantors for any peace agreement,” said a senior Pakistani official, who requested not to be named because of sensitivity of the issue.
The official said Pakistan has been facilitating Afghan led and Afghan owned peace talks. “But if talks make progress and all sides agree, then Pakistan has no problem in playing its role beyond that of a facilitator,” he said.
