Pakistan on Monday warned of potential spillovers from the Afghan crisis, saying the world would have to deal with a “huge mess” if its advice on the war-torn country was ignored.
Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry said that the world must listen to Pakistan as “in the recent past, Pakistan’s advice had not been paid heed to, and if Pakistan and the prime minister’s advice was listened to, the situation would have been different.”
In an interview with TRT World, which was published by Dawn, the minister said the situation in Afghanistan was “very worrying” for Pakistan, recalling that “we had to deal with the problems when the Soviet Union left Afghanistan in 1988.”
