He said Pakistan believed in peace, dialogue and peaceful coexistence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The minister said Pakistan had sent several high-level delegations to Afghanistan to help resolve the issue, while talks had also been held in Istanbul and Doha. He said the Afghan interim government would have to move away from a militant mindset and adopt the approach of a responsible state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tarar said many of Afghanistan\u2019s problems were linked to a militant mindset, adding that the country had immense potential for promoting trade and regional connectivity. Peace in Afghanistan, he said, could help open trade routes connecting Central Asia with Pakistan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He said Central Asian states could gain access to warm-water ports through Afghanistan, while the presence of alleged safe havens for terrorists and members of banned organizations in Afghanistan remained a matter of concern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The minister said sustainable peace in Afghanistan required moving beyond a militant mindset. He noted that Afghanistan had a predominantly young population, while a large number of Afghan women were not part of the workforce. He said certain sections of Afghan society were not being provided opportunities to contribute to economic development and were being denied basic rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tarar said peaceful coexistence required adherence to the principle of \u201clive and let others live,\u201d adding that peace was the foundation of prosperity. He also said there was a significant gap between the Afghan people and the interim government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He said the Afghan people deserved fundamental rights, including access to education, freedom of assembly and association, and economic opportunities. The Afghan people, he added, should have a meaningful voice and the right to determine their own future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The federal minister said peace in Afghanistan could create greater opportunities for stability and development throughout the region, while regional peace could boost trade and investment. He said access to Karachi and Gwadar ports through trade routes remained a longstanding aspiration of Central Asian states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cPakistan wants peace, but our desire for peace should not be mistaken for weakness,\u201d Tarar said, adding that attempts to destabilize Pakistan had been responded to in the past and would continue to be met with a response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tarar said the Afghan people deserved a better and prosperous future and that consensus should be developed in Afghanistan to give people a role in choosing their future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He reiterated that Pakistan supported negotiations for an acceptable and friendly solution to the Afghan issue and said the desire for regional peace and expanded trade was shared across the region.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ISLAMABAD: Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Atta Tarar has said that peace in Afghanistan could enhance prospects for stability, development and economic cooperation across the region, stressing that Pakistan&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6983,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[1100,2637,35],"class_list":["post-6982","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pakistan","tag-afghanistan","tag-pak-afghan-crisis","tag-pakistan"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.4 -
