Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Senator Mohammad Ishaq Dar Monday called Acting Afghan Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi to offer condolences over the devastating earthquake that struck Afghanistan, killing more than 800 people and injuring thousands.
Dar expressed sorrow on behalf of Pakistan, offered prayers for the victims and their families, and reaffirmed Islamabad’s solidarity with the Afghan people. He assured Kabul that Pakistan was ready to extend all possible support and assistance as needed.
The overnight quake has left widespread destruction in Afghanistan, adding to the country’s humanitarian challenges. Rescue efforts are underway as authorities fear the death toll could rise further.
