Pakistan’s Information and Broadcasting Minister Fawad Chaudhry announced that the government would host an exclusive conference on the dilemma that the war-torn country is facing, amidst escalating violence in Afghanistan as the Taliban rapidly advance following the US soldiers’ withdrawal.
The news came after Prime Minister Imran Khan spoke on the phone with Hamid Karzai, the previous Afghan president.
Fawad stated on Twitter that key members of the Afghan government, including Karzai, had been invited to the meeting, and that more information about the event will be released soon.
Pakistan, concerned about the consequences of new civil war in Afghanistan, is reaching out to key regional players in the hopes of striking an agreement to prevent another calamity in the war-torn country.
