can you create a special thread about crimes reported in media related to Pakistan. We have everyday multiple threads related to news of someone's killing,robbery,corruption... I think rather than creating more threads, we can report them in a single thread. It will be easy to merge new threads there.

July 05, 2018
Foreign Office spokesperson Dr. Muhammad Faisal says Pakistan is committed to peace and security in Afghanistan and fully supports Afghan President's peace initiatives.
Speaking at a weekly briefing in Islamabad today, he said there is no military solution to decades' long Afghan conflict and Pakistan hopes that Taliban would grab opportunity of unconditional peace talks with Afghan government.

During a meeting at Foreign Office, the two sides discussed the bilateral foreign relations as well as regional situation especially Afghanistan.

Foreign Secretary reiterated Pakistan's support to peace and reconciliation efforts of Afghanistan as well as other stakeholders. Dr. Faisal said US has appreciated the engagement between Pakistan and Afghanistan particularly in the context of operationalization of Afghanistan-Pakistan Action Plan for Peace and Solidarity. The foreign secretary also raised issues of concern particularly border management, return of Afghan refugees and presence of anti-Pakistan sanctuaries on other side of the border.
