No need for foreign manpower in Afghanistan: Karzai negates Imran Khan's proposal

Kabul: Former Afghan President Hamid Karzai on Saturday rejected Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan's proposal of sending qualified and trained manpower to Afghanistan and said “there is no need for it”.

On Friday, Pak PM Imran Khan had said that Pakistan was "committed to provide all-out support to the Afghan people to avert a humanitarian crisis", reports The Express Tribune.

"There is no need for a foreign workforce in Afghanistan," Karzai wrote on his official Twitter handle as quoted by the Pakistani newspaper.

“Hamid Karzai welcomes PM Imran Khan’s suggestion over sending foreign manpower in particular Pakistani manpower to Afghanistan but there is no need for such manpower,” read the tweet.

He asked the Taliban government to create job opportunities.
