DUBAI: The US State Department has stated that the peace in Afghanistan cannot be established without the cooperation of its neighbouring Pakistan but the historical “Doha agreement” between the US and Taliban was still under review. It has been one year since the United States and the Afghan Taliban signed a landmark agreement leading to a political settlement between Kabul and the Taliban insurgents. It would be difficult to establish peace in Afghanistan without Pakistan, the Urdu Spokesperson of the State Department Zed Tarar stated in the exclusive interview with Geo News in Dubai.
Expressing the hope of peaceful future for the Afghan people, Zed Tarar said that Pakistan s role in withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan or other issues related to peace was “very important“ as Pakistan is a partner of the United States and a neighbour of Afghanistan.
