"In consultation with President Karzai, Chairman Prof. Burhanuddin Rabbani
... the legitimate president of Afghanistan...
and members of the high peace council both sides have agreed to establish the Afghanistan-Pakistain joint commission for facilitating and promoting reconciliation and peace," Mr Yusuf Raza Gilani

said.
He said he also echoes President Zardari's recent comments published in the Guardian.
"As far as President Zardari's statement is concerned, I fully endorse that statement that he said that a war in Afghanistan can destabilise Pakistain and it is vice versa so the war on terrorism is directly affecting Pakistain not only in form of casualties but in form of economy as well," said Mr Gilani.
He also added that his country will support any Afghan-led efforts to establish peace in Afghanistan.
The Pak Prime Minister said the war in Afghanistan is destabilising Pakistain.

Mr Karzai said the United States and Pakistain can play an important role in bringing peace to Afghanistan and also urged Soddy Arabia and Tukrey to play their role in bring peace to the country.
While international community and the Afghan government have repeatedly said that terrorist sanctuaries exist on Pak soil, but Mr Gilani denied the existence of such sanctuaries and stresses on the fight against terrorism.
