Abdullah Abdullah is a rabid AntiPak person. for him to openly welcome COAS means unkil nein bohat bara danda diya hai.
Also means, Unkil has also acquised to our demands vis a vis removal of Indian elements from Afg and more Pashtoon involvment in AFG government set up. Now NDS needs to be de-fanged. Once that is done, Pakistan's long term goals needs to be to counter Iranians in Afghanistan. They cannot be allowed to fill the power vacuum as they have done in Iraq and Syria. I have a feeling both US and our Gulf allies are aligned with that role for PK.
