Pakistan assured on Tuesday it considers Afghanistan’s enemies its own and has been extending full cooperation to the country in combating terrorism, according to local media sources.
“Terrorism is our common enemy and requires cooperative approach to combat this menace,” Foreign Office spokesperson Qazi Khalilullah said.
The statement came in response to Afghan President Ashraf Ghani’s press conference in which he accused Pakistan of sending ‘messages of war’ and harbouring bombmaking camps, sources added.
Ghani’s outburst came a day after he spoke to Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif over the telephone to discuss the possibility of resumption of peace process between Kabul and the Afghan Taliban and after a wave of devastating blasts in Kabul killed at least 56 people.
