Afghan President Hamid Karzai on Thursday warned Islamabad that attacks perpetrated by “terrorists” infiltrating his country from Pakistan was severely undermining relations between the two countries. Following talks in Kabul with Pakistani Foreign Minister Khurshid Mehmood Kasuri, Karzia’s office released a statement saying: “The president emphasised that the Afghan people desired to have strong and friendly relations with Pakistan. However, the continuation of violence perpetrated by terrorists from across the border was a major obstacle.” Karzai went on to issue a veiled warning that escalating violence in Afghanistan would also harm Pakistan’s interests. “In the same way that Afghans cannot imagine a stable, peaceful and prosperous Afghanistan without a peaceful and stable Pakistan, it is also impossible for Pakistan to have peace and stability without a peaceful and stable Afghanistan.” Kasuri stressed that Pakistan supported a stable Afghanistan, the statement said.
