It is a positive development that Dr. Abdullah Abdullah is determined for the positive outcome of underway peace dialogue for peaceful and stable Afghanistan. All the stakeholders will have to develop a consensus for restoration of peace in the war-torn country. So far, serious efforts from the major stakeholders towards fruitful outcome of intra-Afghan dialogue are being observed. Pakistan has always a narrative of Afghan-led and Afghan-owned peace process that has been acknowledged across the globe. The long war in Afghanistan has badly affected the economy of United States and now US is willing to end this war by all means. I am hopeful that new US administration will definitely took all possible measures for the respectful withdrawal of NATO forces from Afghanistan.
