US praises Pakistan's 'sincere' efforts for peace in Afghanistan

US Charge d’Affairs to Pakistan Angela Aggeler on Friday called on Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Qamar Javed Bajwa at the General Headquarters (GHQ) in Rawalpindi and appreciated Islamabad’s "sincere efforts for peace and stability in the region, especially the Afghan peace process."

The development came as Pakistan had proposed to host a peace conference for a political solution in Afghanistan. However, it was postponed following the refusal by the Afghan government to sent its delegation.

“The Afghan Peace Conference scheduled to be held in Islamabad from 17-19 July has been postponed until after Eidul Azha,” a brief statement issued by the Foreign Office.
