Prime Minister Imran Khan on Monday held a meeting with army chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa and Director General Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) Lt General Faiz Hameed to discuss, as per the official handout, “matters pertaining to national security”.
No further details were provided by the Prime Minister Office but observers believe that the meeting might be linked with the current Afghan situation particularly after the Biden Administration announced to review the peace deal with the Afghan Taliban.
The high-level huddle at the PM office is believed to have taken place to finalise Pakistan’s strategy as the Biden Administration will soon formally contact Islamabad to discuss the peace efforts in Afghanistan.
Pakistan has played a key role in facilitating and brokering the February 29 deal between the US and Afghan Taliban while at the same time is closely working with all stakeholders for a breakthrough during the intra-Afghan dialogue.
