Pakistan expresses disappointment over Ghani's hostile remarks

Pakistan on Saturday expressed its disappointment over the hostile remarks of Afghan President Ashraf Ghani at the Nato Summit.

"It is unfortunate that Afghan leaders continue to make hostile statements against Pakistan and blame Pakistan for all failures in Afghanistan.

However, since we have a genuine interest in seeing peace in Afghanistan, Pakistan would continue to make every effort to help bring peace in Afghanistan," the Foreign Office said in a statement.

"We also expect co-operation of the Afghan government in our fight against terrorism through effective border management and denying sanctuaries to anti Pakistan terrorists from TTP," it said.

The Foreign Office also said that the need of the hour was close co-operation between Afghanistan and Pakistan rather than constant blame game by the Afghan government based on inaccurate assumptions.
