ISLAMABAD, 28 June 2021, (TON): Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry has echoed the prime minister words that the government would never allow anyone to use Pakistani territory against Afghanistan, stressing that Islamabad wanted to see a stable government in Kabul.

He said in a video message “peace inside Afghanistan is very important for Pakistan.”

 The information minister talked about Pakistan-US relations especially in the context of the prevailing situation in Afghanistan.

Fawad said quoting the recent interview of PM Imran Khan to the International New York Times, he said the PM had clearly stated his views regarding relations with the US, China, and Afghanistan. The PM had expressed his desire for the stability of Afghanistan and vowed to help Afghanistan in achieving peace.

He stressed the need for taking all stakeholders on board for establishing a stable government in Afghanistan. The solution to the Afghanistan issue must come out by keeping warring factions in the loop, the information minister added.
