Pakistan’s PM Imran Khan warns of ‘civil war’ in Afghanistan

Prime Minister Imran Khan has said that peace in Afghanistan is necessary for the benefit of the land itself, as well as the countries in the region, and has stated that there is hope for a political settlement.

Addressing the Pakistan-Uzbekistan Business Forum in Tashkent, Prime Minister Imran Khan said, “Pakistan and Uzbekistan have historical, cultural, and spiritual ties. I had the opportunity to come here many years later and I was warmly welcomed.”.

“Today I want to reassure the Prime Minister of Uzbekistan and the business community that this relationship is just the beginning, we hope that our relationship will move forward, trade relations between the two countries depend on how soon we will be connected to each other,”.

“The Trans-Afghan Railway is a very important project for both Uzbekistan and Pakistan. The project connects Uzbekistan to 220 million Pakistanis and then connects our ports to Africa and the Middle East, which makes it interconnected and allows access to international markets,” he said.
“This project connects Pakistan with Uzbekistan and Central Asia and gives us a way to go beyond that, too, so we are very optimistic about it,”.

With that, he further stated, “Therefore, peace in Afghanistan is very important and we hope for a political settlement there so that the two countries can connect and benefit through them,”.

“The establishment of the European Union has improved the way of life of the people in its member countries. Whenever trade between neighboring countries increases, the way of life of the people improves, so this visit is very important for us,” he said. It is hoped that trade relations between the two countries will boost and therefore the number of flights to Uzbekistan will be increased.

Imran Khan said, “The main purpose of my visit is to visit Bukhara and Samarqand. I have been a student of history, so I am well acquainted with the history of Uzbekistan, as such, I am excited to visit the two cities.”
