In a meeting with members of the US Congress, the Pakistani Prime Minister stressed the urgent need for financial assistance to the Afghan people.

The office of the Prime Minister of Pakistan wrote on its official Twitter page that Prime Minister Imran Khan, in a meeting with members of the US Congress yesterday, stressed the urgent need to help the Afghan people.

“The Prime Minister particularly emphasized the urgent need for financial assistance to the people of Afghanistan as part of efforts to prevent a humanitarian crisis and economic collapse,” the Pakistani prime minister’s office wrote.

Imran Khan also expressed hope that ways and means would be found to address the issue of liquidity and empower banking channels to help Afghanistan cope with the economic burden and urgent challenges.
