Author: Agencies

RAWALPINDI: US special representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan Richard Olson on Monday met army chief General Raheel Sharif and discussed security situation in the region, particularly Afghanistan.

During the meeting held at the GHQ in Rawalpindi, Olson appreciated Pakistan’s efforts in the fight against terrorism, the ISPR said. Earlier on December 9, General Raheel assured Afghan President Ashraf Ghani of full support for peace and stability in Afghanistan. The meeting comes as top officials from Pakistan, Afghanistan, China and United States met in Islamabad to finalise a roadmap for resurrecting a stalled peace process in Afghanistan. At the opening session of the talks, Adviser to Prime Minister on Foreign affairs Sartaj Aziz said no precondition should be attached for peace talks with Taliban.
