FM Qureshi, Khalilzad discuss regional situation & Afghan peace process
Ambassador Khalilzad’s visit to Pakistan is part of his regular engagement for consultations and exchange of views on the Afghan peace and reconciliation process.
Reiterating that a peaceful and stable Afghanistan is important for peace and stability in the region and beyond, Foreign Minister Qureshi welcomed the latest developments including announcements on formation of negotiating team and establishment of High Council of National Reconciliation. Noting the 40-year hospitality extended by Pakistan to the Afghan refugees, the minister underlined the role of the international community for a time-bound and well-resourced roadmap for the return of Afghan refugees to their homeland with dignity and honour.
The minister conveyed Pakistan’s disappointment that the recently released US State Department’s Country Report on Terrorism 2019 was not factual and it failed to recognize Pakistan’s serious efforts and achievements in the fight against the scourge of terrorism. It was underlined that the spirit and trajectory of Pakistan-US relations warranted a positive approach — with better understanding and recognition of Pakistan’s concrete contribution to counter-terrorism.
