COAS Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa, accompanied by the DG ISI, met Afghan President Ashraf Ghani and Afghan National Reconciliation Council Chairman Abdullah Abdullah. The stand implied that Pakistan would continue to help the Afghan government and the Taliban to hammer out an inclusive power-sharing agreement acceptable to Afghan stakeholders. Pakistan is already trying to bring the Taliban back to negotiations with the Afghan government. In other words it is in the interest of Pakistan to do whatever it takes to bring the two combatants, that is, the Afghan government and the Afghan Taliban, onboard. All depends on the negotiating skills of those conducting talks with the Afghan government and Taliban.
