PESHAWAR:
Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur has said that instability in Afghanistan is adversely affecting the peace and order in the province. He emphasised that sustainable peace requires dialogue with Kabul.
“Our armed forces, police, and people have made enormous sacrifices to root out terrorism. We salute the martyrs who laid down their lives for peace,” he said, adding, “For a long-term solution, negotiations with Afghanistan are necessary, and it is encouraging that the federal government has agreed with my proposal in this regard.”
He expressed these views while addressing the participants from the 26th National Security and War Course under the National Defence University, which visited the Chief Minister’s House, Peshawar, on Friday.
