Fazl terms Afghan rendezvous ‘successful’
Maulana Fazlur Rehman, the head of Jamiat-e-Ulema Islam (JUI-F) on Friday termed his visit to Afghanistan “highly successful”, as he confirmed meeting the Afghan Taliban chief in Kandahar. Fazl returned to Pakistan after almost a weeklong trip to Afghanistan where he met with all top Afghan Taliban leaders. The main highlight of his visit was meeting Taliban supreme leader Haibatullah Akhundzada. He became the first Pakistani leader to have met the reclusive Taliban chief and only the second foreign visitor to interact with him following the Qatari prime minister. Confirming his meeting in an interview with an Afghan media outlet before wrapping up his visit, Fazl said his talks with Haibatullah were comprehensive and inclusive. He said all issues between the two sides were discussed.
