Pakistan calls for reduction in violence in Afghanistan
Islamabad/Xinhua/UNI: Pakistan underlined the need for reduction in violence in Afghanistan which is a key to take the peace process forward.
Pakistan's appeal came amid spike in Taliban attacks in Afghanistan despite the U.S.-Taliban peace agreement.
The Pakistani Foreign Ministry said on Sunday the country has consistently underlined the importance of a peaceful and stable Afghanistan, which the country considers indispensable for peace and stability in the region and beyond.
The U.S.-Taliban peace agreement signed in February is a significant step forward, creating an opportunity for the move towards intra-Afghan negotiations, the ministry's spokesperson Aisha Farooqui said in a statement.
"We believe that the pursuit of sustained reduction in violence by all concerned parties is pivotal in advancing the cause of peace in Afghanistan," the spokesperson said.
Farooqui said Pakistan will continue to support a peaceful, stable, united, democratic and prosperous Afghanistan, at peace with itself and its neighbors.
