AMRITSAR: Advisor to the Prime Minister on Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz has urged concerted action for peaceful resolution of regional conflicts, saying ‘blame games’ will not help toward achieving the task.
He was addressing the Heart of Asia Conference here on Sunday.
Aziz said peaceful resolution of unresolved conflicts would boost regional cooperation and communication.
Eluding to Afghan President Ashraf Ghani’s allegations that Pakistan was giving “sanctuary” to terrorists, Aziz said concerted policy and action, not blame games, are needed to establish peace in Afghanistan. Such blame games will not bring peace to Afghanistan, he said.
Aziz said that Pakistan’s attendance at the Conference, despite escalating tensions with India, shows Pakistan’s resolve to establish peace in Afghanistan and the overall region.
He said a serious review of peace efforts in Afghanistan is needed.
Despite Ghani’s comments about Pakistan, Aziz praised the efforts of the Afghan president and Afghan Chief Executive Abdullah Abdullah in development of Afghanistan.
