Envoy Says Islamabad Wants Strong Ties With Kabul

Pakistan ambassador to Kabul, Zahid Nasrullah Khan, on Saturday said Islamabad is not worried about Kabul-New Delhi economic cooperation, because Afghanistan is an independent state and has its own foreign policy. 

Nasrullah Khan however said Pakistan is trying to have good economic relations with Afghanistan. 

“Afghanistan’s increasing economic relations with India dose not bother us. It is a sovereign country and it has its own unique bilateral relationship and foreign policy and that is how we look at it. Our concern is to address our bilateral issues because our relationship is extremely important,” said Nasrullah Khan. 

US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson in his recent visit to Islamabad submitted a list containing names of 75 key insurgents in Pakistan. The US called on Islamabad to take action against militants. 

Pakistan ambassador to Kabul said if Tillerson has submitted such a list to Pakistan, Islamabad will work on it. 

“I have not seen the list and that I cannot tell you anything. Tillerson recently visited Pakistan and if he had submitted such a list to us, we probably will work on it,” Nasrullah Khan added. 

The Pakistan envoy’s remarks comes after the US has increased pressure on Pakistan to take serious anti-terror steps and also India has agreed with the US to continue its economic support to Afghanistan.
