Islamabad: Pakistan Foreign Minister, Shah Mahmood Qureshi has called for an enhanced engagement of international community to prevent a humanitarian crisis and economic meltdown in Afghanistan.


Addressing virtually the ministerial meeting of Afghanistan's neighbors on day, the minister said, “If a humanitarian crisis is prevented and economic stability is assured, then peace can be consolidated and a mass exodus precluded”.
“Renewed diplomatic and international presence in the country would reassure the Afghan people,” he added.
Shah Mahmood Qureshi said the urgent provision of humanitarian assistance, with UN and its various agencies playing a lead role, would reinforce the process of confidence-building.
The Foreign Minister hoped for an early stabilization of political situation in Afghanistan saying this will lead to normalcy.
“The new situation requires discarding old lenses, developing new insights, and proceeding with a realistic and pragmatic approach,” he stressed.
Qureshi further added that Afghanistan must be enabled to get through this testing time and realize its full potential to advance the common vision of a peaceful, stable, prosperous and inter connected region.
