The head of Pakistan’s Awami National Party said bilateral talks could end tension between the two countries and help improve relations.
Pakistan’s Awami National Party president Asfandyar Wali Khan has called on Islamabad to be open to Afghan President Ashraf Ghani’s negotiation offer to end tensions between the two countries.
Asfandyar called on Pakistan to reciprocate positively as peace was a prerequisite for stability and economic development in the region, Dawn News reported.
He said unity among Pakhtuns was needed and that foreign elements should stop interfering in the region.
According to Dawn News he went on to say that bilateral talks could end mistrust between the two countries. “Pakistan should take initiative in this regard. Kabul and Islamabad should take bold steps to improve ties,” he added.
Ghani again called for peace during his speech over Eid. He said: “From here, I have a message to Pakistan: We are ready for comprehensive political talks. Peace with Pakistan is in our national agenda.”
