It may be mentioned that Pakistan’s NSA is in Washington with a high-powered delegation to discuss regional issues, particularly the ongoing Afghan War that is entering into a crucial phase and Pakistan has shown its concerns about the possibility of civil war in already war-beaten Afghanistan after the abrupt withdrawal of US-allied forces.
