He spoke about the situation in the Indian-Occupied Kashmir, the Afghan peace process, and relations with China.
The DG said that Pakistan has played a positive and responsible role in the Afghan peace process. The country’s concerted efforts have not only paved the way for dialogue between the US and Afghan Taliban. Pakistan believes that peace in Afghanistan would lead to peace in South Asia, he remarked. Pakistan would welcome an Afghan government that would represent its people.
