Pakistan PM Will Urge Trump To Resume Talks With Taliban

Ayaz Gul

   ISLAMABAD - Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan says he will urge U.S.
   President Donald Trump to resume talks with the Taliban to help bring
   peace to Afghanistan when he meets with him next week on the sidelines
   of the U.N. General Assembly.

   Khan told reporters Wednesday his country had played a central role in
   arranging the yearlong U.S.-Taliban dialogue before Trump declared the
   process as "dead" nearly two weeks ago. The Pakistani prime minister
   said he was surprised when he learned through the media that the talks
   broke down.
