National Security Adviser Dr Moeed Yusuf on Tuesday said that he will not travel to India to attend a conference on Afghanistan being hosted by New Delhi on November 10. Russia, China, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan will reportedly attend the moot hosted by the Indian national security adviser. Moeed said Pakistan and Uzbekistan shared the same stance on Afghanistan, adding that there was a need to coordinate on Afghanistan for the sake of the Afghan people. He maintained that Central Asia was a priority for Pakistan, adding that Pakistan will engage with the Central Asian States via bilateral and multilateral agreements. The NSA further said the region should be concerned about the way India is behaving as this would damage regional cohesion.
