US must accept military defeat in Afghanistan: Pakistan FM
2017-10-26
[PRESSTV] The stalemate in Afghanistan will not improve unless the United States acknowledges its defeat in the country, says Pak Foreign Minister Khawaja Asif.

"Their failures over the past 16 years [since the war in Afghanistan started] is before them," Asif said Wednesday, while briefing the Pak Senate on Wednesday about the talks he held the previous day with an American delegation led by US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson.

Asif told politicians that US policymakers, and not their military commanders, needed to drop the failed military plan and devise a political solution.

"There will only be room for improvement if Washington accepts their defeat, their failures in Afghanistan," Asif said. "They are not ready to accept this."

"Our country, our military and our police have made sacrifices in the war and in return, we have gained unmatched success," the foreign minister said, rebuking claims by the administration of US President Donald Trump

and the ISIS terrorist groups in Afghanistan.

The new Republican president denounced the Pak government for offering safe haven to "agents of chaos" in a speech in April, when he revealed Washington’s plans for prolonged military presence in Afghanistan by sending 3,000 more troops to the country.
