PESHAWAR (Pajhwok): Pakistan has reiterated its strong commitment to a stable, peaceful and prosperous Afghanistan.
Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari renewed Pakistan’s pledge in a telephonic conversation with his Afghan counterpart Amir Khan Muttaqi on Saturday.
In a brief statement, the Foreign Office in Islamabad said “They discussed a range of issues of mutual interest.”
Meanwhile, an Islamabad-based source revealed Bilawal Bhutto conveyed Pakistan’s concerns over terrorist activities in the country.
Bilawal urged Kabul to crack down on outlawed Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) militants, who are allegedly hiding in the neighbouring country.
However, the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan has repeatedly promised not to allow anyone to use Afghanistan’s territory against a third country.
