Pakistan People's Party Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari underscored on Monday the necessity of dialogue and diplomacy over mere visits to Afghanistan, stating that diplomatic efforts are crucial for resolving bilateral issues.
Addressing a press conference in Peshawar, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari lamented the current lack of positive politics across Pakistan and stressed the importance of confronting non-democratic practices.
He highlighted the unprecedented challenges facing the nation today, attributing them to decisions that inadvertently facilitated the resurgence of terrorist organizations across provinces.
Regarding the upcoming all-party conference on operations, Bilawal affirmed the PPP's commitment to constructive politics, pledging to participate actively and convey their concerns effectively. He emphasized the need for consensus-driven decisions to address security challenges and revive the economy.
On the Afghanistan-Pakistan relations, Bilawal acknowledged the complexities involved, noting the Afghan government's capacity constraints in counter-terrorism efforts. He urged mutual efforts to improve bilateral relations, foreseeing economic benefits for both countries once stability is achieved.
Reflecting on past policy mistakes, Bilawal cautioned against overly critical stances towards the government's decisions, particularly in the context of provincial responsibilities in combating terrorism.
He expressed hope in the upcoming all-parties conference as a positive step towards national security dialogue, urging unity in safeguarding the nation's interests.
