ISLAMABAD: Afghan President Hamid Karzai Thursday said his country did not want to become a battleground for proxy wars between India, Pakistan, Iran and the United States.
Addressing a joint press briefing with Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani after signing a MoU, he said "We in Afghanistan are fully aware and recognise that without Pakistan and without its cooperation with Afghanistan, Afghanistan cannot be stable or peaceful."
"It is also, I believe, recognised in Pakistan that without a stable and peaceful Afghanistan there cannot be stability or peace in Pakistan," he said.
"Afghanistan does not want any proxy wars on its territory. It does not want a proxy war between India and Pakistan on Afghanistan.
"It does not want a proxy war between Iran and the United States on Afghanistan. It does not want any country... to engage in any activity against another country in Afghanistan," he added. |  |
