Karzai Blamed Pakistan |
ISLAMABAD-Pakistan showed high concern
regarding Hamid Karzai’s statement, saying allegedly that some of the
institutions of Pakistan are not in support of peace process of Afghanistan. Aizaz Ahmad Chaudhry who is a Foreign Office
spokesman, said the media
” It is in our common interest to jointly
address the common challenges of terrorism and extremism being faced by our
region. The newly-elected leadership of Pakistan has reiterated its resolve to
fully support an Afghan-led and Afghan-owned peace process. Pakistan will
continue to support reconciliation efforts in Afghanistan in all its earnest
for achieving durable peace, stability and development in our region.
The government of Pakistan and all its
institutions have unanimity of views on issues of national security and foreign
policy. In this context, promoting peace and stability to Afghanistan is an
important pillar of Pakistan’s foreign policy which is supported by all state
institutions.
The government of Pakistan has noted with
concern a recent remark by President Hamid Karzai against one of the Pakistani
state institutions. In an interview to a local channel, the Afghan president
has attempted to create an impression as if some institutions of Pakistan are
not fully supporting the objectives of bringing peace to Afghanistan.
However, the success of this policy requires
reciprocal action and good will on the part of the Afghan government.”
