PESHAWAR (Pajhwok): Pakistan would continue supporting the Afghan-led and Afghan-owned peace process, promises the country’s powerful army chief.

Gen. Qamar Javed Bajwa reaffirmed Pakistan’s promise during a phone call with US Secretary of State Antony John Blinken on Wednesday.

The military’s media wing quoted Gen. Bajwa as saying: “Pakistan will always support an Afghan-led, Afghan-owned peace process based on mutual consensus of all stakeholders.”
