Pakistan won’t tolerate India’s influence in Afghanistan: Khawaja Asif

Author: Web Desk

LAHORE: Foreign Minister Khawaja Asif, on Monday, said that Pakistan welcomes the United States efforts to end Indo-Pak conflict but the country will not tolerate growing Indian influence in Afghanistan.

While addressing the fourth-round of US-Pakistan Bilateral Dialogue in Islamabad, he said that US strategy for South Asia was aimed at restricting India’s role in Afghanistan only with economic assistance. He further added that Pakistan was against India’s intervention in Afghanistan.

He said that a devastated US policy towards Afghanistan was the reason for the failure of peace talks. The world appreciates the sacrifices of the Pakistani people and armed forces in defeating the terrorism inside the country, he added.

He further said the Pakistan has long standing relations with US but the “blame game” should be stopped to sustain bilateral relations. He also said that Pakistan always played its role for the establishment of peace in Afghanistan, adding that when it comes to countering terrorism, the country should make its own policies.
