Pakistan Summons Afghan Envoy Over Deadly Border Clashes
Islamabad and Kabul accused each other of initiating border clashes, in which at least eight Pakistanis and ten Afghanis have died and one Taliban* border guard was killed.
Pakistan's Foreign Ministry summoned Afghanistan’s chargé d’affaires in Islamabad to register “strong condemnation over recent incidents of
unprovoked cross-border shelling" on Friday.
The move comes a day after losing one person in “intermittent” firing by Taliban forces at the crossing.
The Foreign Ministry conveyed its concerns over the firings by the Afghan Border Security Forces in the Chaman-Spin Boldak area, resulting in loss of life, injuries and damage to property.
“It was agreed to use established institutional mechanisms in this regard. Pakistan remains committed to maintaining fraternal relations with Afghanistan. Peace along the Pak-Afghan border is intrinsic to this end,” Mumtaz Zahra Baloch, a Foreign Ministry spokesperson, said in a statement.
Afghanistan "apologized" to Islamabad on Sunday over the firing that claimed eight lives and left 15 injured. However, on Thursday, armed clashes recurred at the border in Chaman-Boldok, leaving at least one Pakistani dead and 15 others injured.
The Taliban on Thursday stressed the need for solving border issues through dialogue, warning that "negative actions and making excuses for war are not in the interest of any of the parties."
The British-era border demarcation named as the Durand line has remained a bone of contention between the two neighbors as Afghanistan disputes the nearly 2,600-kilometer border with Pakistan.
