WASHINGTON: Pakistan assured the United States on Tuesday that it would continue supporting the Afghan peace process.
At a Monday afternoon news briefing, the US State Department once again urged Afghanistan’s neighbours to support the process, reminding them that continued chaos in Afghanistan would be particularly harmful for them.
Pakistan’s US Ambassador Asad Majeed Khan conveyed this assurance during a meeting with US lawmakers in Washington. He also underlined Islamabad’s desire to “build a broad-based and stand-alone relationship with the US,” said a statement issued by his office.

The United States has urged the Taliban and the Afghan government to engage seriously in the ongoing peace process to prevent Islamic State militants from further aggravating an already tense situation in the war-ravaged country.

Saturday’s school attack in the Afghan capital that killed at least 80 people most of them girl students has earned strong condemnation from across the globe.
