Credit goes to Pakistan for wooing Taliban to talks for resolving issues
Earlier, FM Shah Mehmood had claimed credit for US Taliban talks and deal.
He said Pakistan made sincere efforts in bringing US and Taliban on negotiation table for establishing peace in Afghanistan.
He further said that Pakistan made Taliban understand that the issue could be resolved through negotiations only.
Moreover, he said Pakistan always convinced the world that there is no military solution of Afghan issue.
Pakistan always called for resolving it only through dialogue.
Shah Mehmood said Pakistan wished that the both sides should reach to logical destination of peace in Afghanistan.
However, FM Qureshi said some powers do not want peace in Afghanistan and they are conspiring against peace process by disturbing law and order through bomb blasts in the country.
Such powers are spoilers and there is need to avoid and foil nefarious designs of these powers.
