Khan expressed these views on Twitter a day after his maiden visit to the neighboring country. In a series of tweets, the premier said that he never believed in military solutions and peace can be achieved only through dialogue.

"My visit to Kabul was another step towards conveying Pakistan's commitment to peace in Afghanistan. I have never believed in military solutions which is why I always believed that in Afghanistan peace will be achieved through political dialogue."

The prime minister also said that after the Afghan people, Pakistan has the greatest stake in the peace process.

"After the Afghans, we have the greatest stake in this peace as it will allow for connectivity & trade, bringing prosperity to both Afghans & Pakistanis. Our people in the tribal areas, who have suffered the ravages of the war in Afghanistan, will especially benefit from peace & trade."
