Pakistan's top diplomat on Tuesday said that his country will support all endeavours aimed at strengthening peace and security in Afghanistan as instability in the war-torn neighbouring nation is not in its interest.
Prime Minister's Advisor on Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz made the remarks while addressing the senior officials prior to Ministerial Heart of Asia Conference here, which is jointly hosted by Pakistan and Afghanistan.
He said Pakistan will continue to support all endeavours aimed at strengthening peace and security in Afghanistan, Radio Pakistan reported.
Aziz stressed that Heart of Asia Conference is an effective platform for promoting regional economic cooperation and connectivity, with Afghanistan at its centre.
He said it provides an opportunity to member countries in result-oriented engagements for a peaceful and stable Afghanistan, and a secure and prosperous region as a whole.
Aziz said since the launching of Heart of Asia conference in 2011, the forum has made good progress towards realisation of its core objective of promoting durable peace and stability in the war-torn nation.
