"We Have No Favourites Now": Pakistan PM Imran Khan On Afghanistan

Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan said that the country will have good relations with whoever the Afghans choose.

The Pakistan government is not a spokesperson for the Taliban and Islamabad cannot be held responsible for the actions of the insurgent group in Afghanistan following the withdrawal of soldiers from the US and its allies, Prime Minister Imran Khan has said. In his comments to Afghan media representatives that were aired on Thursday, Mr Khan also said that Pakistan will have good relations with whoever the Afghans choose. "What the Taliban are doing or aren't doing has nothing to do with us. We are not responsible, neither are we spokespersons for the Taliban," Mr Khan was quoted as saying by the Dawn newspaper. Mr Khan's remarks were a continuation of Pakistan's repeated warnings that it would not accept the responsibility if it was blamed for any setbacks in the Afghan peace process.
