Do we need to reduce Pakistan’s military budget to provide for country’s economic upbringing? What is current situation of Afghanistan? World has the perception that Pakistan is soft on Taliban government, do you think that’s the case? Where does the government stand on negotiations with the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan? Is idea of mainstreaming religious extremist party such as TLP going to hit us in the future? How do you see Afghanistan’s security and significance in terms of connectivity projects in the region? Do you think peace is a possibility with India? Pakistan got criticism over Afghanistan’s situation; where do you this is going with the cold response from the US?
