Karachi: Pakistan Adviser on Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz has stated that it is not the right time for resumption of talks between Afghanistan Government and Taliban.

Aziz during his visit to the Institute of Strategic Studies Islamabad (ISSI) said that right atmosphere needed to be created to convince both stakeholders about the usefulness of the process, the Dawn reported. Reconciliation is the best option to bring peace in Afghanistan, he added.

He also appreciated Iran Government for their participation to promote dialogue to achieve peace and stability in Afghanistan.
