Earlier, during a joint press conference with Afghan President Ashraf Ghani, PM Imran said Pakistan will fully support to end violence and establish durable peace in Afghanistan.
He said Pakistan has played its role in getting started first the Talban’s talks with the Americans and then for intra-Afghan dialogue.
Imran Khan said the people of Afghanistan have suffered violence for four decades.
He said the erstwhile FATA region of Pakistan was also devastated by the war on terror and the livelihood of the tribesmen was badly affected.
