Visiting Pakistani Foreign Secretary Aizaz Ahmad Chaudhry stressed Wednesday that stability in neighboring Afghanistan is critical to peace in South Asia and called on the international community for continuous economic commitment to the war-torn country.
"We believe peace in Afghanistan would mean peace for the whole region," Chaudhry said in an interview with The Japan Times in Tokyo.
The Pakistani diplomat, in Japan to attend bilateral political consultations with his Japanese counterpart, said international contributions are vital to economic stability in Afghanistan.
