ISLAMABAD, May 3 (Xinhua) -- Pakistan on Tuesday opposed military option for the solution of the Afghan problem, saying this policy could not solve the issue over the past 14 years.
Pakistan's top Adviser on Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz's comments came days after Afghan President Ashraf Ghani pressed Islamabad to take military action against the Afghan Taliban leaders who Kabul claims are living in Pakistan.
Ghani told the parliament on April 25 that Afghanistan does not "expect Pakistan to bring the Taliban to the negotiation table", a major shift from his previous policy.
The Taliban deadliest attack against a security office in Kabul on April 19 that killed nearly 70 people and injured about 350 forced the Afghan government to prioritise war strategy instead of reconciliation with the Taliban.
Sartaj Aziz, however, said in Islamabad that political dialogue is still a viable option.
