ISLAMABAD:
Pakistan on Thursday promised to extend full cooperation to Afghanistan in the fight against terrorism as it redoubles efforts to defuse tensions triggered by a barrage of deadly attacks in Kabul, according to local media sources.
The attacks prompted an outburst of rage in Afghanistan and led President Ashraf Ghani and Chief Executive Officer Dr Abdullah Abdullah to point fingers at elements in Pakistan while accusing Islamabad of doing little to stop such incidents, sources further revealed.
Pakistan also emphasised that the two countries should have trust and faith in each other and that they should “discourage spoilers and detractors who have been trying to create mistrust between the two brotherly countries”.
A high-level delegation, led by Afghan Foreign Minister Salahuddin Rabbani, arrived in Islamabad on Thursday and held crucial talks with Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to convey his country’s concerns.
