Afghanistan: Karzai Hopes Pakistan's Sharif Will Engage Positively With Kabul

KABUL, 22 April 2022, (TON): The former president Hamid Karzai expressed hopes that the new government in Pakistan pursue good relations with Afghanistan.

The former Afghan president who was in power from 2001 to 2014, made the remarks in an interview.

He said “I can tell you that when I was in office the last year of my office, I had excellent relationship with Mia Nawaz Sharif, the then Prime Minister of Pakistan, who I found to be very willing to engage very fruitfully with Afghanistan. I hope that Mr. Shahbaz Sharif, the current Prime Minister of Pakistan—his brother would follow the same path.”

“And would find that the Afghan people would respond to them very very positively. We do wish good relationship with Pakistan. Stable relationship, stabilize relationship with Pakistan.”

When asked about the recent airstrikes carried out by the Pakistani forces on Kunar and Khost provinces, Karzai said that such attacks are clear violations of Afghan sovereignty.
