Pakistan says military solution to Afghan issue will create further complications: Pakistan on Wednesday said that a military solution to the Afghan issue will create further complications, after its foreign minister returned home from a diplomatic offensive to engage regional powers which share a similar point of view on Afghanistan.<\/p>\n

Speaking on a program, Foreign Minister Khawaja Asif said all the three regional states – China, Iran and Turkey – acknowledged Pakistan’s sacrifices (in the war against terrorism) and backed its stance beyond expectations.<\/p>\n

Pakistan decided to approach regional countries after US President Donald Trump announced his controversial new policy for South Asia, which included ‘anti-Pakistan’ remarks.<\/p>\n

Since then, Islamabad has gone on a diplomatic offensive, engaging regional countries that share its point of view with regards to Afghanistan.<\/p>\n

The minister stressed on the need for resolving the Afghan issue regionally and urged the countries affected by Afghanistan’s situation to find a solution to it.<\/p>\n

Asif said that he has spoken to his Afghan counterpart and Pakistan’s efforts were bearing good results.<\/p>\n

He said that he had briefed the prime minister on the issue and soon the matter will be presented before the National Security Committee.<\/p>\n

The minister said that he also had talks pertaining to India’s political role in Afghanistan. “New Delhi won’t have a political role in Afghanistan. It will only be restricted to the economic sector.”<\/p>\n

He, however, said that India’s investment in Afghanistan is not meant for its betterment, whereas the United States has clarified that New Delhi does not have a political role in Afghanistan.<\/p>\n

Last week, Asif stressed that the United States should respect Pakistan’s territorial integrity.<\/p>\n

“We want to stay engaged with the United States. We have had a long relationship with them, spanning 70 years,\u201d he said, but lamented that people in Washington do not have a full comprehension of the facts.<\/p>\n

Asked about Chaudhry Nisar’s criticism of his statement about “putting own house in order”, the minister said the former interior minister expressed his personal opinion.<\/p>\n

He, however, stood firm on his statement saying it was said in the backdrop of the past four years, which was true.<\/p>\n
