Prime Minister Imran Khan called for dialogue at a time when it was the biggest challenge facing the world,” he said.
“Peace in Afghanistan will be the biggest benefit to Pakistan. Peace in Afghanistan will boost Pakistan’s trade and give Pakistan access to Central Asia. A recent UN report not only mentioned ISIS’s presence in Afghanistan but also considered India as a stronghold of instability in the region.
