Pakistan’s former foreign minister Hina Rabbani Khar, while talking to CNN’s Christiane Amanpour, has argued that the US presence in Afghanistan is ‘aimed at creating instability and chaos’. She also said that Pakistan should not take Trump’s tweets seriously, while also commenting that in current circumstances, China is Pakistan’s only ‘strategic partner’.
