Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Thursday said Pakistan was ready to hold talks with Afghanistan, but only on "legitimate and mutually respectful conditions" following the clashes at the border between the two countries.
Sharif made the remarks while addressing the federal cabinet meeting, where he talked about the recent tensions with Afghanistan that erupted into a mini-war between the two countries.
He said Pakistan agreed to a 48-hour ceasefire at the request of Afghanistan, and now the ball is in Kabul's court to decide the matter peacefully. He said Pakistan is ready to resolve the issue at the dialogue table.
