| [ToloNews] The Afghan government's effort to pressurize Pakistain by another country to help Afghanistan's peace parleys is a wrong and fruitless idea, according to Pakistain's foreign ministry. Tasneem Aslam, Pakistain's foreign ministry spokeswoman told TOLOnews that such efforts have already been carried out in the past but have had no outcome.
...former chancellor of Kabul University, now president of Afghanistan. Before returning to Afghanistan in 2002 he was a scholar of political science and anthropology. He worked at the World Bank working on international development assistance. As Finance Minister of Afghanistan between July 2002 and December 2004, he led Afghanistan's attempted economic recovery until the Karzais stole all the money. .. during his first official visit of China asked Beijing to persuade Pakistain to act sincerely in Afghanistan's peace efforts. Also in a presser in Germany, Ghani, following a good relationship between China and Pakistain, told news hounds that Beijing can play an important role in Afghanistan's reconciliation process. But Pakistain's Aslam denied accepting pressure by any other country, urging that Afghanistan should never try to put pressure on Islamabad. "You should forget the idea of pressurizing Pakistain by another country," Aslam said. "You must know that all these pressures so far you have put on Pakistain have been in vain." Pointing to a good relationship between Pakistain and China, she added peace in Afghanistan was in favor of both Pakistain and China. But Afghanistan's Ambassador to Islamabad, Janan Musazai, said no practical steps have been taken so far regarding the revival of peace talks with the Taliban. "Afghanistan's position in peace talks is very clear and it is at the top of our priorities but so far we can't say anything in this regard," Musazai said. Afghanistan has frequently accused Pakistain of backing krazed killer groups in the country; however, Islamabad has not taken the accusations seriously. | |
