UK To Cooperate With Pakistan On Counter-Terrorism In Afghanistan: Official
Britain will work with Pakistan about the problem of mutual concern, including providing humanitarian support to Afghanists and preventing war from war from a place where terrorism develops, a high-ranking British official said here on Wednesday.
Special representatives of the British Prime Minister for Afghanistan and Pakistan Nigel Casey said the UK was committed to doing everything that could ensure stability in Afghanistan after the withdrawal of US troops in August.
Casey, who was in Pakistan for a three -day visit to Islamabad and Karachi, discussed the humanitarian situation in Afghanistan with Pakistani civilian and military leaders, the British High Commission said.
Casey held a meeting with Army Chief of Staff General Qamar Bajwa, National Security Advisor Moeed Yusuf, Foreign Minister Sohail Mahmood, and Pakistani special representatives for Afghanistan, Muhammad Sadiq, to cover problems related to Afghanistan.
He discussed the humanitarian situation in Afghanistan, where Britain had promised 50 million pounds for 2.5 million Afghan,” he said in a statement.
Casey also discussed the fields of reciprocal concerns, including inclusive politics, women’s rights, and security situations in their meetings, he said.
Britain is committed to doing everything that can ensure stability in Afghanistan, and our policy is one of the pragmatic involvement. We will continue to work with Pakistan about problems that are of mutual concern, including providing humanitarian support to Afghan people and to prevent Afghanistan from becoming a place where terrorism develops, “Casey said.
In addition to discussions about Afghanistan, special representatives will meet with business leaders in Karachi to discuss trade opportunities between Britain and Pakistan.
Britain and Pakistan shared a strong business and the ties of people who were supported by 1.6 million Pakistani diaspora in England, he said.
I thank Pakistan for our support for evacuating Afghanistan which is at risk of affiliating with England from Afghanistan, “Casey said.
Pakistan has tried to convince the world to diplomatically involved with the Taliban after the hardliners took control of Kabul in August. However, the international community is still skeptical about this group, especially on problems such as terrorism originating from countries that are hit by war and their promises to respect human rights.
