March 04, 2014

Notwithstanding a brazen terror attack, Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif today asked the government-appointed committee to continue the dialogue process with the Taliban to end the decade-long insurgency.

Sharif met with the state negotiators today at his residence and the committee submitted recommendations to him to resume the dialogue process.

Sharif directed the committee to continue consultations and it was decided that a meeting with the committee, nominated by the Taliban, will be held in the next few days, media reports said.
