The United States finally announced the unfreezing of Afghanistan’s national assets, which is the result of the strong appeal of all parties concerned, and Pakistan’s unremitting diplomatic efforts have played the key role.
From the very beginning, Pakistan has insisted that Afghanistan’s national assets held in the United States should be returned to the Afghan people and the funds are “critically needed” to revive the coun-try’s war-battered economy.In order to stir the United States to unfreeze Af-ghanistan’s national assets, Pakistan has consis-tently joined the calls of the international commu-nity as well as the senior United Nations officials to unfreeze Afghanistan’s reserves.
