LONDON: US President George Bush has avoided to comment on Afghan President Hamid Karzai’s anti Pakistan statement and urged more dialogue between the two countries.
He has called for more cooperation between Pakistan, Afghanistan and the coalition forces in Afghanistan to tackle the extremists in a forceful way.
Addressing a joint news conference with British Prime Minister George Bush at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office after their talks at Downing Street, Bush described the situation on Pak-Afghan border as “testy” and suggested more dialogue between Pakistan and its northern neighbour. Bush called for re-starting the Jirga process and said these dialogues in the past had been useful.
He said better trilateral co-operation between Pakistan, Afghanistan and the NATO could lead to a positive situation in the region. Saying that extremists must not have a safe haven, the US President said his country could help promote better co-operation between all three parties.
He welcomed the decision of UK Government to dispatch additional troops to Afghanistan and said the Western countries were determined to bring social-economic changes in the land-clocked country and improve the lot of the people.
