ISLAMABAD: Prime minister Nawaz Sharif on Tuesday said that establishing peace and stability in the country is the first priority of the government, Radio Pakistan reported.

Speaking to the members of the government dialogue committee, he stressed that “efforts would be made on every level for the realisation of this objective”.

At the meeting, the members of the government dialogue committee presented their proposals for an effective future strategy.

Previously, the committee had met in Islamabad to review the incidents that took place in Islamabad and Khyber Agency, following the announcement of a ceasefire made by the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP).

The committee said that such events, after a ceasefire had been announced, would only harm the peace process.

On Monday, Nawaz chaired a high-level meeting that gave the go-ahead to the four-member government negotiating committee to resume the stalled peace process with Taliban intermediaries, official sources said.

The prime minister convened the emergency meeting to discuss the security situation hours after suicide bombers struck at the Islamabad district courts.
