On August 16, Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi urged the Afghan leadership to ensure a broad-based and comprehensive political settlement of the Afghan issue.
The minister made these remarks as he met a delegation of Afghan leaders in Islamabad.
Qureshi called upon all stakeholders to work in a united manner for a better future for the war-stricken country and the region.
Taliban seized Kabul on August 15, two weeks before the deadline for the withdrawal of American forces from the country. The fall of the capital city triggered a wave of panic among foreigners as well some locals, who rushed to Kabul airport – the only escape route from the country.
