New York: Afghanistan believes in comprehensive, long term and friendly relations with Pakistan, said Afghanistan Foreign Minister Zarar Ahmad Osmani at the UN General Assembly on Saturday.
Osmani said: “Afghanistan strongly believes in comprehensive, long term, friendly and good-neighbourly relations between Pakistan and Afghanistan in the fight against terrorism and strengthening of peace and stability between two nations and in the region.”
However, he also expressed concern over the rocket attacks by Pakistani forces into Afghanistan.
“Continuation of such attacks is unacceptable for Afghanistan.”
“We hope that the government of Pakistan, considering our common interests in ensuring peace and stability, put an end to any kind of acts that can endanger the outlook of good neighborly relations,” the minister said.
Osmani also said that “Afghanistan has achieved a significant milestone with the successful conclusion of the presidential election including the important task of recounting the votes.” (IANS)
