LAHORE - PML-Q president and former prime minister Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain emphasised on the desire of peace between Pakistan and Afghanistan, and said that friendly ties between them are inevitable to establish peace in the region.
Talking to media in Islamabad on Thursday, Shujaat said it is better to renew the friendly relationship between both countries as soon as possible.
The travelling facility across the border for the people of both countries should be started the way it was before many years.
The past practice was that the people of Kabul had their residences in Landi Kotal and half of the population of Landi Kotal had their trade in Afghanistan.
Both countries maintained a relation of love, affection and peace due to these practices.
It is the top priority to maintain the same conducive environment in order to maintain peace in the region.
Shujaat advised the governments of both countries to enhance the people-to-people interactions through mutual exchange of elected representatives, traders, students and sportsmen.
The time has come to develop friendly contracts on a national level between both countries and “We shouldn't point fingers at each other in regards to previous terrorism-related activities and seeking refuge across the borders.
“
Furthermore, Chaudhry Shujaat requested Afghan leader Abdullah-Abdullah to accept the proposal of friendship with Pakistan while forgiving and forgetting incidents of past and perform his positive role to maintain peace and prosperity with new spirits, because there is a general perception that he is not in favour of Pakistan.
Time demands him to eliminate this impression about him by maintaining a peaceful relation with Pakistan.
Peace can be maintained in South Asia if both governments decide wisely for each other.
Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain requested the government of Pakistan to invite Ashraf Ghani, The President of Afghanistan, Abdullah-Abdullah and other religious and political leaders to visit Pakistan to enhance the brotherhood.
