OCT 29 (DNA) – Pakistan has held successful negotiations with at least four countries and a new regional alliance against the foreign presence in Afghan is fast emerging, former ISI chief has claimed.

“Now this is the regional alliance that is emerging, not in the sense of an alliance, but at least they have started handling the foreign presence in Afghanistan in a coordinated manner,” Lt-Gen (retd) Asad Durrani, Pakistan’s ex-spymaster.

“In the meantime actually what we have done… is that [we have] found allies in the region starting with Iran, Russia, China and now lately Turkey,” he added.
