Following US President Joe Biden's announcement of pulling out of troops from Afghanistan to end America's longest war, Pakistan said it supports the principle of responsible troop withdrawal in coordination with Afghan stakeholders.
The Foreign Office, in a statement, said it is important the withdrawal of foreign troops from Afghanistan coincides with progress in the peace process.
The Foreign Office said the country had been consistently supporting and facilitating the efforts for durable peace and stability in Afghanistan.
"We believe there is no military solution to the conflict in Afghanistan and a negotiated political solution through an Afghan-led and Afghan-owned process is important for lasting peace and stability in Afghanistan," it said.
