Pakistan has called for holding a major donor conference to formulate immediate humanitarian and economic relief plans for Afghanistan for averting risks of instability and terror threat to the entire world.

In an article published in a US-based journal, Advisor to Prime Minister on National Security Dr Moeed Yusuf said that a wait-and see approach would be tantamount to abandonment of Afghanistan.

He said the spread of refugees, drugs, weapons, and transnational terrorism from a destabilized Afghanistan neither serve the interests of the Afghan people nor the rest of the world, most of all Pakistan.

He said as Pakistan can and will assist in pushing Afghanistan in a positive direction and it alone cannot guarantee the outcomes that we all desire.
