*KABUL: *Pakistan’s National Security Adviser (NSA) Lt Gen (r) Nasser Janjua has thrown full weight of Pakistan behind the Afghan government peace offer to Afghan Taliban.

During the meeting, both sides agreed that Taliban should utilise new and timely peace offer made by the Afghan government.
According to details, shared by Abdullah on his Twitter account, inter-state dialogues for improvement of ties between the two states were also part of the meeting.
Earlier on Saturday, Afghan President Ashraf Ghani met Nasser Janjua and invited Prime Minister Khaqan Abbasi to start “state to state comprehensive dialogue.”
During the meeting with Ghani, Janjua said that Pakistan was ready to make all possible efforts for strong and stable ties between both countries.
