PESHAWAR
Advisor to the Chief Minister on Information and Public Relations Barrister Mohammad Ali Saif on Wednesday announced that a peace agreement has been successfully signed between both parties involved in the Kurram dispute, following a Grand Jirga.
He described the signing as a major milestone toward restoring peace and stability in the region.
Mr Saif revealed that the agreement includes key provisions such as the demolition of bunkers and the handover of heavy weaponry. Ground convoys are set to depart on Saturday to oversee the implementation of the accord.
One party had signed the agreement a few days ago, while the other party finalized the signing on Wednesday, he claimed.
During the signing ceremony, Saif congratulated the people of Kurram and expressed optimism that the agreement would pave the way for a new era of peace and prosperity in the region. He assured that normalcy would soon be restored.
Highlighting the crucial role of the Grand Jirga and the cooperation of Kurram’s residents, Saif underscored that the agreement is an essential step toward achieving sustainable peace.
He praised the collective effort in bringing both parties to the negotiating table.
Additionally, Saif confirmed that the provincial government is committed to resolving the Kurram dispute in a permanent and sustainable manner.
In a recent meeting with former Senator Sajjad Turi and members of the Jirga, detailed discussions were held regarding the peace agreement.
Barrister Saif emphasized that a comprehensive roadmap has been developed to ensure long-term peace.
The provincial government, he noted, is focused not just on resolving the dispute in the short term but on finding a lasting solution that brings lasting tranquility and prosperity to the people of Kurram.
He expressed hope that the ongoing efforts will lead to lasting peace and stability in the region, addressing the long-standing challenges faced by its residents.
