Karzai, Khar Call for Joint Peace Efforts

Karzai, Khar Call for Joint Peace Efforts

KABUL - Pakistan Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar on Wednesday said her visit to Kabul was aimed at enhancing bilateral goodwill and all-round cooperation.
At a meeting after her arrival in Kabul, she discussed with President Hamid Karzai the ongoing peace process and threat posed to the neighboring countries by terrorism.

Khar invited Karzai to attend a trilateral meeting among Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iran. Islamabad will host the session in mid-February, the Presidential Palace said.

According to a statement from Karzai's office, the visiting foreign minister reiterated Pakistan's robust support for the reconciliation project, led by the Afghan government.

Islamabad could play a proactive role in promoting the peace negotiations, believed the president, who said insecurity had hampered the development of the two nations.

Fundamentalism was a sinister conspiracy that had damaged peace in the region, Karzai said, calling for a joint struggle for peace and stability.
