“The terrorist groups are currently better equipped and are not only dangerous for Pakistan but also for China and other countries,” interim Prime Minister Anwaar-ul-Haq Kakar said in an interview with a private television channel, as quoted by the Associated Press of Pakistan (APP).

He added that the United States should have handed over the weapons inventory in a responsible manner, but it withdrew its troops hastily and there is currently no clarity on who owns the supplies.

Kakar considered that Pakistan uses negotiations and force against armed groups as tools to deal with the problem and achieve a peaceful social order.

He reiterated that the stability, prosperity and peace of Afghanistan are linked to those of his country.
