'Pakistan has no favourites in Afghanistan,' clarifies FM Qureshi

Addressing media in Multan, FM Qureshi said the entire world has acknowledged Pakistan's stance regarding the Afghanistan issue.

Afghan people want peace in their country and they are to decide their future by themselves, he added.

Shah Mehmood said Pakistan has no favourites in Afghanistan and whoever forms government there, Pakistan will accept it.

“In the current situation, the whole world and Pakistan are on the same page.”

He thought discussions are currently underway in Afghanistan and hopefully the issue will be resolved through dialogue.

He said this is the testing time for Afghan leadership and they should give peace a chance.

The Foreign Minister said Pakistan's Embassy in Kabul is completely functional and we are observing the situation closely.

He also warned that India should not play the role of spoiler in the current situation, as its negative efforts will prove harmful for the peace of the region.
