News Story: Pakistan’s Support to Taliban Prolonging War - Rabbani

By Mir Aqa

Minister of Foreign Affairs Salahuddin Rabbani has said that Pakistan was still reluctant to see peace return to Afghanistan and continued its supports to terror groups and provided safe havens to the Taliban leadership.

Pakistan’s reluctance to end the war in Afghanistan and its support to insurgents and the Taliban were key factors behind the continuation of war in the country, he said.

He said that terrorists will be defeated in Afghanistan once Pakistan eliminates their safe havens.

According to Rabbani, the Taliban will endorse peace negotiation talks if action is taken against their leaders in Pakistan.

Rabbani made the remarks on Wednesday at the Atlantic Council in Washington where he is attending the US-sponsored international conference on Daesh.

Foreign ministers from 68 nations are attending the conference.
