“The historic visit of United States (US) by Prime Minister Imran Khan had already laid a new foundation for Afghan peace and development and Pakistan would keep making efforts to further the peace dialogue”, he said in a statement issued from Panjshir, Afghanistan.

He said a peaceful and developing Afghanistan would prove to be a partner in Pakistans pursuance of regional peace and stability.

Upon arrival, Afghan Minister for Public Health Dr Ferozuddin Feroz and Deputy Governor Siddiqi welcomed the minister.

The Minister visited strategic Punjshir Valley of Afghanistan and met with the local leaders and briefed them on Pakistans efforts for peace and development in Afghanistan.

Later, Shehryar Afridi held detailed talks with the local leadership.

Afridi said all Afghan leaders and politico-ethnic groups were equally important for Pakistan.

He made it clear that Pakistan believed in Afghan-led and Afghan-owned peace process and would keep pursuing dialogue between Afghans.

Shehryar Afridi said Pakistan is the principal partner of Afghanistan in peace and stability in Afghanistan.
