The Spokesperson for the armed forces Director General Inter Services Public Relations Major General Asif Ghafoor on Saturday said that Pakistan had done its job of bringing Afghan Taliban to the negotiating table. In an interview with an Arab newspaper, he asserted that the Afghan Taliban were not excluding Pakistan from US-led talks being held in Doha.
He said that Pakistan was only a facilitator and had fulfilled its task of bringing Taliban to the table and said that the outcomes of Doha dialogue would ascertain the future of Afghanistan. Asif Ghafoor said that Kabul government was not capable to eliminate the sanctuaries of terrorists in the country. He said, "Pakistan has always remained relevant and will continue to be relevant and when the US leave Afghanistan, it will leave acknowledging Pakistan's role in ending the conflict. Our relationship shall further strengthen."
He said that the US, as a friendly country, should fulfill its promise to quit Afghanistan and added that it should not be a tug of war for power in Kabul after the withdrawal of US forces.
