The Foreign Minister raised the issue of anti-Pakistan banners and unruly conduct of a certain group of spectators towards Pakistan cricket team and its players.

He specifically highlighted that use of sports venues for malicious propaganda is unacceptable.

The Foreign Minister said peace and stability in Afghanistan is a shared responsibility and Pakistan would continue to support all efforts aimed at bringing peace and stability to Afghanistan.
