Chaudhry Fawad Hussain further stated that the role of Pakistan is very limited and ultimately it is the people of Afghanistan to evolve a formula for a political settlement to establish durable peace and stability in their country.
“Peace in Afghanistan is vital for enhancing accessibility of Central Asian Republics to Pakistan’s port of Gwadar,” the minister said, adding that we can materialize the idea of laying railway line from Gwadar to Uzbekistan. He said it will connect CPEC with the EU.
Fawad Chaudhry has said that we always talk of security matters, while there is a need to enhance cooperation between Pakistan and Afghanistan in cultural domain as well.
“Pakistan is ready to cooperate with Afghanistan in sectors like film, drama, and literature,” he added.
