Future Pakistani economic policies depend on Afghan peace, PM tells forum

ISLAMABAD: Talking to a delegation of Pak-Afghan Youth Forum Prime Minister Imran Khan said Wednesday that peace in Afghanistan will give Pakistan access to the Central Asian Republics, ARY News reported.

PM Imran Khan responded to the questions from the forum’s youths that all the future Pakistani economic policies depend on peace in Afghanistan as a precursor. Pakistanis consider the people of Afghanistan their brothers.

Pakistan will neither hold any talks with India nor will accept Indian participation in Afghan peace process till the August 5, 2019 action was reversed, the Prime Minister asserted.

Taking the stern position, he added that the status of the Occupied Kashmir must be restored under which Kashmiris had the right of self-determination as per UN Resolutions.

The recent statements from Afghan leaders blaming Pakistan for the Afghan crisis is unfortunate, the PM Imran Khan said, adding that it is Pakistan that has strived hard to convince the Taliban first for talks with the United States and then with the Afghan government.

To another such query, the Prime Minister said unfortunately there was a misconception in Afghanistan, based on Indian propaganda, that Pakistan was controlled by military institutions.

The Prime Minister Imran Khan said Pakistan has always desired peace with its neighbours but it was India that did not want peace because it was at present under the influence of RSS ideology.
