President Mohammad Ashraf Ghani said Tuesday that no agreement has been signed with Pakistan’s military intelligence – Inter Services Intelligence (ISI).
During a tour to southern Kandahar province, President Ghani said he will personally prepare a draft of the agreement if the Afghan government decides to sign such an agreement with Pakistan.
He said the draft would be sent to the National Security Council for approval before it is signed but he said reports suggesting the agreement has been concluded are all rumours.
The remarks by President Ghani comes as there have been an uproar since reports emerged suggesting a draft agreement was signed between the National Directorate of Security (NDS) and Pakistan’s ISI regarding intelligence sharing and cooperation between the two countries.
In regards to peace process, President Ghani said negotiations should take place with Pakistan instead of Taliban group so that Islamabad persuade the group to sit-in for peace talks.
He said Pakistan is engaged in an undeclared war with Afghanistan and insisted that negotiations should take place with those who are fighting with Afghans.
