KABUL :Afghanistan said on Monday it would boycott a series of upcoming meetings with Pakistan unless “bilateral trust” was restored after attacks it blamed on its neighbour’s intelligence and military.
The cabinet decision was announced soon after President Hamid Karzai directly accused Pakistan’s role in a series of deadly attacks including the bombing of the Indian embassy last week.
A cabinet meeting had decided Afghanistan was “compelled” to suspend its involvement in various bilateral and regional meetings due in Dubai, Islamabad and Kabul this month and in August, the statement said.
Pakistan has firmly denied involvement in the Indian embassy attack and the wave of violence in Afghanistan, accusing its neighbour of shelving its own responsibilities to fight extremist violence.
