Prime Minister Khan on the Afghan Peace Process

As part of his first visit to Washington as prime minister, Pakistan’s Imran Khan spoke on July 23 at the U.S. Institute of Peace following talks with President Trump.

On peace in Afghanistan, Khan said that Pakistani security doctrine sought “what was called the ‘strategic depth’ of being able to influence Afghan affairs." “But this has changed. Today, … we feel that by interfering in Afghanistan in order to secure the strategic depth, we've actually done a lot of damage to our own country and … we have become partisan in Afghanistan's internal affairs.”
