Pakistan has welcomed President Donald Trump’s decision to withdraw half the US troops from Afghanistan.
Pakistan’s foreign minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi said the decision is good for ongoing peace talks between the Afghan Taliban and the US.
Talking to reporters in Multan, Qureshi said that Pakistan welcomes the peace discussions that took place earlier this week in Abu Dhabi.
The latest talks between the Taliban and US special envoy Zalmay Khalilzad focused on the withdrawal of NATO troops, the release of prisoners and halting attacks on civilians by pro-government forces.
