Exclusive: Pakistan FM says Taliban must be part of Asia anti-terror fight

'I want to give them that chance to demonstrate that they can take on this issue,' Pakistani Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari told Newsweek.

Zardari spoke directly about his nation's tumultuous political history, urging stability as Khan continued to command sizable rallies—he was shot during one last month— furthering his accusations of conspiracies to silence him. But Zardari expressed confidence that Pakistan was on the right path toward shoring up the democratic ideals of the nation of nearly 220 million people.

We've also been discussing, during the course of our chairmanship, issues like achieving the SDGs [sustainable development goals] and climate goals, which have been impacted severely by COVID, by the Ukraine war, everything, people's countries record on eradicating poverty. If you compare the statistics from pre-COVID to post-COVID, we have a lot more people in poverty all across the world today than we did before COVID. This is a once-in-a-hundred-year catastrophe.

Speaking of Pakistan, specifically, and its role in the international community, we've seen how political unrest can have a negative impact on one's economy and status in general.

Now that's a significant improvement. That's a significant development of Pakistan's democratic journey. Simultaneously, our former chief of army staff came on the record, and he said the role of the Pakistani Armed Forces interfering in the political process in an unconstitutional way was incorrect. And, as an institution, they have decided to reset and fix this. That's an extremely significant development.

Former prime ministers have been hanged, former prime ministers have been executed, assassinated, imprisoned for extended periods of time. Mr. Khan hasn't been prime minister for six months. I think that we will withstand the associated political instability. And the strengthening of democratic institutions, in the long term, it means political stability for Pakistan.

. And we've come a long way. We went from having terrorist attacks every week, with thousands of casualties, to a relative calm as a result of our military operations in South Waziristan, in North Waziristan, our national action plan after the APS [Army Public School] attacks.
