Want 'responsible withdrawal' of US troops from Afghanistan: Pak foreign minister 

Pakistan wants a 'responsible withdrawal' of US troops from Afghanistan, said Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi said on Saturday.

Qureshi's comment came hours before Washington is set to sign a major agreement between Washington and Taliban Islamist militants.

"We want a responsible withdrawal," Quereshi told in Qatar's capital of Doha, when asked about the timeframe for American forces' departure.

"It's an important day," he added. "Hopefully it will set the tone for peace and stability in Afghanistan."

The pact could bring an end to the United States' 18-year war in Afghanistan.
