President Mohammad Ashraf Ghani has said the new strategy by the United States for the South Asia is yet another opportunity for Pakistan to review its old regional approach, specifically the country’s approach towards Afghanistan.

The Afghan president made the remarks during his speech to the nation after the announcement of the strategy by US President Donald Trump, according to Khaama Press on Wednesday.

He said an unstable Afghanistan is not in anyone’s favor, particularly Pakistan, emphasizing that Islamabad should reconsider its previous approach, taking advantage of the available opportunity.

President Ghani further added that the ongoing violence in Afghanistan has regional roots as well as roots to the international violence.

US President Donald Trump on Tuesday unveiled the new US strategy for Afghanistan and the South Asia region, emphasizing on continued efforts to eradicate terrorism and fight against menace of terror threatening the region and the world.
