The United States and Pakistan are interested in peace and orderly transition in Afghanistan, Prime Minister Imran Khan said on Tuesday.
Addressing reporters with US President Donald Trump ahead of their meeting in Davos, Khan said that Afghanistan was the main issue for their talks as it concerns both US and Pakistan.
“Fortunately, we are on the same page, both of us are interested in peace there and orderly transition in Afghanistan with talks with Taliban and the government,” Khan said.
Meanwhile, Trump said that relations between Pakistan and the US have been the closes they have ever been.
“Although, I wouldn’t say that at all times we were close as a country, but we are very close right now because of the relationship that we have,” Trump said.
US is holding talks with the Taliban in Qatari capital Doha and the group sees a deal before the end of January.
