Reliable sources said that the Ambassador left for Kabul shortly after the meeting.
According to sources, the meeting was an effort to do away with misunderstandings leading to a blame game in the region. The sources underlined the importance of the meeting that fell in the backdrop of Afghan President Hamid Karzai’s visit to New Delhi and signing of strategic partnership agreement with India.
In his meeting with the afghan envoy, Chief of Army Staff General Ashfaq Kayani cautioned the Afghan government against continuation of baseless allegations against the ISI of supporting terrorists in Afghanistan, who recently killed former Afghan president Burhanuddin Rabbani and said it would have a deep negative impact on relations between Islamabad and Kabul. He also made known Pakistan’s concerns over the recently concluded ‘Afghanistan-India Strategic Partnership Pact’ to the Afghan ambassador.
The Afghan ambassador in his meeting with Foreign Secretary Salman Bashir told that the strategic partnership with India is not against Pakistan interests and termed Pak-Afghan relationship as historic.
