Kabul (BNA) Pakistan welcomes the peace agreement signed on Thursday between the Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan and Hezb-e-Islami Afghanistan, a press release from Pakistan embassy said yesterday.
Pakistan has consistently emphasized that there is no military solution of the conflict in Afghanistan. Politically negotiated settlement though an Afghan-owned and Afghan-led peace process is the most viable option for bringing lasting peace and stability to Afghanistan, the press release added, saying that the successful conclusion of the peace deal between the Afghan Government and Hezb-e-Islami Afghanistan is, therefore, encouraging. “It is our earnest hope that his peace agreement provides an opportunity for similar agreements between Afghan government and other Afghan insurgent groups for achieving durable peace in Afghanistan,” the press release said. The press release went on saying that the government and people of Pakistan reiterate their continued support and solidarity with the government and people of Afghanistan in their pursuit of peace, progress and prosperity.
