ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan on Thursday called upon the world to help Afghanistan achieve peace after the decades of turmoil it has suffered.
“The world should try its best to bring peace in Afghanistan. There has been conflict there for 40 years. Their people have faced such hardships.
“It is time now that the world help Afghanistan achieve peace. The Taliban are trying to reach an inclusive political settlement and they are speaking of peace, so we should help them,” he said, while addressing a ceremony at Islamabad’s Convention Centre to unveil PTI’s performance over the last three years.
The PTI has released a 256-page performance report to highlight the achievements since the party came into power in 2018.
The prime minister thanked his entire team and his allies – PML-Q, BAP and MQM, GDA – who stood with the party in the last three years.
Earlier in the ceremony, welcoming the audience, he especially greeted the newly elected Azad Jammu and Kashmir government representatives.
He quipped: “I was looking at Faisal Javed Khan. He is so enthused always whenever he gets a mic, he never lets go of it, like in our jalsa days.”
The premier also lauded Sindh Governor Imran Ismail’s talent for producing PTI anthems, saying it may very well overshadow his performance as a governor. Ismail earlier sang “tabdeeli aayi re” in the event, besides humming a tune in the making for “mujhhe kyoon nikala”. —agencies
