Pakistan's ambassador at the United Nations says US President Joe Biden's endorsement of the previous American administrations' decision to withdraw US troops from Afghanistan was “a logical conclusion to this conflict.”

Akram told reporters at UN headquarters in New York on Monday that the international community must now work together “to ensure an inclusive political settlement for a long-term peace, security and development of Afghanistan.” He says Pakistan's stance “that the conflict in Afghanistan never had a military solution” has been confirmed.
