Pakistan said on Saturday that leaders of Afghanistan must seize the historic opportunity to work together constructively and secure an inclusive, broad-based and comprehensive political settlement to the years-long conflict in their country. Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi addressed the commencement of intra-Afghan negotiations in Qatar through a video link and said Islamabad has fully facilitated the process that culminated in the US-Taliban Peace Agreement in Doha in February and that the start of the talks was the result of combined efforts. The talks were set to take place in March but have repeatedly been delayed over a prisoner exchange agreement made as part of the US-Taliban deal signed in February this year.
