ISLAMABAD - PM Imran Khan makes a military cooperation offer to United States over the rising threat of ISIS in the region.
Prime Minister Imran Khan has emphasised the need for continued military cooperation between Pakistan and the US to deal with the emerging threats especially the ISIS which is concentrating on the Pak-Afghan border.
Talking to Commander US Central Command (CENTCOM) General Kenneth McKenzie Jr here on Monday, the Prime Minister shared his vision with the visiting dignitary on political process in Afghanistan.
Welcoming General McKenzie to Pakistan on his first trip after assuming his responsibilities, Khan shared his longstanding commitment to peace and stability in Afghanistan through political settlement.
The prime minister said that the policy to seek direct engagement with Afghan stakeholders including Taliban to find a negotiated solution had the greatest prospects to end the prolonged conflict in Afghanistan.
Underscoring the need for an intra-Afghan dialogue, the prime minister said that the Afghan stakeholders should sit together to discuss the contours of their future polity after the withdrawal of foreign troops. He reiterated Pakistan’s desire to have good neighbourly relations with Afghanistan.
