Pakistan lauds reactivation of Afghan peace process

NEW YORK (Dunya News) - Pakistan has welcomed the recent efforts to re-energize the peace process in Afghanistan.

In a statement submitted to the UN Security Council, Pakistan s Permanent Representative to the world body Munir Akram, however, warned against spoilers  attempts to subvert the peace negotiations and prevent a political settlement in the strife-torn country.

The Pakistani envoy called on all sides to work towards reduction of violence as it will strengthen the hands of  spoilers , both within and outside Afghanistan.

He said we must guard against those who desire to frustrate a peaceful settlement on the pretext of safeguarding democracy and human rights and to continue to use Afghan territory against its neighbours.
