On the other hand, the Afghan Resistance Front led by Ahmad Massoud welcomed the OIC meeting and expressed concern about holding the meeting in Pakistan.

In addition, Pakistani Foreign Minister Qureshi has said that if Afghanistan is not supported and abandoned, a new war could break out in the country. “To abandon Afghanistan at this point would be a historic mistake. Instability could give way to renewed conflict, it could trigger an exodus of refugees,” Qureshi said, Tolo News reported.
