Afghan issue can only be resolved through dialogue, not war: president
by NNIASTANA: President Mamnoon Hussain said on Tuesday that the issue of Afghanistan could only be resolved through dialogue and not through war.
Addressing a gathering of Pakistani academia and intelligentsia here, the president reiterated that Pakistan would continue assisting their Afghan brethren for stability in their country.
Among those who attended the event included Ambassador of Pakistan in Kazakhstan Abdul Salik Khan, Coordinator of COMSTECH, OIC Assistant Secretary General Naeem Khan, Director General Science and Technology Irfan Shaukat and a huge number of Pakistani academicians and expatriates.
The president, who had arrived in Kazakhstan on four-day official visit on Saturday, told the gathering that the era of brain-drain from Pakistan was over and now the Pakistani experts and academicians would serve in their own homeland.
He said being academicians, the Pakistani expatriates were playing their role with dedication in Kazakhstan, thus bringing good name to their country.
He said owing to the prudent and business friendly policies of the government, the national economy grew satisfactorily during recent years.
