Moeed Yusuf calls for constructive engagement with new political reality in Afghanistan to avert a humanitarian crisis

ISLAMABAD: Special Assistant to PM on National Security Division and Strategic Policy Planning Dr. Moeed Wasim Yusuf  has called for constructive engagement with the new political reality in Afghanistan to avert a humanitarian crisis.
In his article published in UK-based online Newspaper “The Independent”, he said that walking away from Afghanistan would be tantamount to giving up on the millions of Afghans that remain inside the country.
Moeed Yusuf said Taliban have also signaled their intention to engage with the world, even asking western countries not to close down their embassies. He said this opens up the space for the international community to engage constructively with Afghanistan.
He said Pakistan supported the idea of a negotiated political settlement as the only way to end the war in Afghanistan responsibly.
