ISLAMABAD:Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi on Wednesday said Pakistan would continue its efforts for peace and stability of Afghanistan.
“We have great sentiments for the progress and prosperity of Afghan people, and recently conducted an OIC (Organisation of Islamic Cooperation) conference on their humanitarian assistance,” he said while talking to a private television channel.
The minister said Pakistan had almost completed ‘fencing’ along the Pak-Afghan border for better security management.
As regards ties with the United States, Qureshi said there was a strong desire on both sides for a consolidated relationship.
To a question about Yemen conflict, he said dialogue was the only way to make the environment peaceful.
Replying to another question, the minister said the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf government had started the process to build political consensus on the constitutional amendment for the South Punjab province. Soon a meeting would be held with the opposition leaders, including Shehbaz Sharif and Bilawal Bhutto Zardari for the purpose. It was the responsibility of all political parties to work for the welfare of people of South Punjab, he remarked.
