Recently Afghanistan saw a new wave of terrorism and a large number of people were killed. Afghanistan blamed Pakistan for the attacks, while Pakistan refuted the claims.
Earlier Foreign Office said, Pakistan had proposed five joint working groups, which focused on ensuring comprehensive engagement for countering terrorism, intelligence sharing, military, economy, trade and transit interaction, refugee repatriation and connectivity.
“We believe in Afghan-owned peace. In this regard, we welcome the peace deal with Hizb-e-Islami and believe that it can serve as a model for future peace talks,” Faisal added.
The spokesperson said Pakistan had extended the stay of Afghan refugees for another two months.
“It is estimated that Pakistan is currently hosting around 2.7 million Afghans. This includes 1.3 million registered Afghan refugees, while the remaining are unregistered Afghans,” he elaborated.
