Pakistan calls for world to ‘engage’ with Taliban government

Pakistan national security adviser comments come as international community considers terms of engagement with Taliban.

Islamabad, Pakistan – Pakistan’s national security adviser has called on the world to “engage” with the Taliban’s caretaker government in Afghanistan or risk a return to the instability that characterised the group’s last era in power three decades ago.

In an address to foreign media in the Pakistani capital, Islamabad, on Wednesday Moeed Yusuf urged the international community not to repeat past mistakes.

“We are trying to make sure that the world understands the importance of not making the mistakes of the past again,” he said.
