US Senator hails Pakistan’s role in troops safe Afghan pullout
August 4, 2021
ISLAMABAD: US Senator Christopher J Van Hollen has said Pakistan played an important role in the safe withdrawal of the US troops from Afghanistan.
In an exclusive talk with PTV World, he said there were a lot of uncertainties after the US forces withdrawal and it was neither in Pakistan’s nor in American interest to see chaos in Afghanistan.
“I foresaw an economic opportunity in peace that is both in favour of Afghanistan and its neighbouring states,” Senator Hollen said, adding Pakistan’s influence over Taliban was overrated.

Outlook for This Week in the Nation’s Capital
Congress. The House and Senate are both in session this week. The Senate will continue confirming President Joe Biden’s nominees, and the House plans to vote on some appropriations bill as well as numerous other pieces of legislation from the Oversight and Reform, Natural Resources, and Veterans’ Affairs Committees. Hearings for the week include assessing the federal response to COVID-19, defending the electric grid against cyber attacks, enhancing voting rights, examining federal nutrition programs, discussing the role of controlled environment agriculture, and addressing NASA’s infrastructure needs. The House Armed Services Committee will also hold all of its subcommittee markups this week for the FY22 National Defense Authorization Act, but it will not hold its full committee markup until September.
