Pakistan on Saturday summoned the Afghan ambassador to convey its “strong reservations” over the India-Afghanistan joint statement issued in New Delhi a day earlier.
Afghan Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi, who landed in New Delhi on Thursday, is on a six-day visit to India.
The Foreign Office (FO) conveyed Pakistan’s “strong reservations” in a statement to the Afghan envoy regarding references made to Jammu and Kashmir in the joint statement.
Islamabad also rejected Muttaqi’s assertion that terrorism is an internal issue of Pakistan.
The statement emphasised that shifting responsibility for controlling terrorism onto Pakistan could not absolve the Afghan Interim Government of its obligations.
