Talks with Taliban alone won’t ensure stability: Mohib

Mohib made the remarks at a conference titled “Peace and Stability” organized by the Ministry of Border and Tribal Affairs, which was attended by a number of government officials, politicians and Pakhtunkhwa leaders.

He added negotiations with the Taliban could only bring temporary peace not durable stability.

According to Mohib, only stability can prevent conflict in the country and the ongoing conflict can be stopped if honesty ensured in talks

Mohib stressed that facts should be taken into account in order to bring peace, because these conflict had not only domestic dimensions but also external.
