Prime Minister Imran’s comments on Afghanistan misinterpreted: Dr Faisal

Foreign Office has clarified that Prime Minister Imran Khan's recent comments on Afghanistan have been reported out of context in the media which led to unwarranted reaction from various quarters.

In a statement today, Foreign Office Spokesperson, Dr Muhammad Faisal said the Prime Minister had referred to Pakistan's model, where elections are held under an interim government.

The comments should not be misinterpreted to imply interference in Afghanistan's internal affairs.

The Spokesperson said Pakistan has no other interest in Afghanistan, but to promote peace through an Afghan-owned and Afghan-led political process.

Dr Muhammad Faisal said Prime Minister Imran Khan has taken personal interest in facilitating the ongoing political reconciliation process and the same must not be misconstrued to undermine the sincere efforts of Pakistan or to create misunderstandings at this crucial stage of the process.

He said the Prime Minister understands the plight of brave people of Afghanistan, who have a right to live in peace after four decades of violence and war.
