Ashraf Ghani Urges Pakistan to Choose Between Friendship and Hostility with Afghanistan

DID Press: Former Afghanistan President Ashraf Ghani has urged Pakistan to clarify its position towards Afghanistan, calling on Islamabad to choose between friendship and hostility and end what he described as its dual policy towards the country.

Ghani said the era of double-dealing was over, arguing that Pakistan could not publicly emphasise friendship with Afghanistan while, according to him, supporting armed groups operating in the country.

The former president warned that continuing such policies could intensify the conflict in Afghanistan, with security consequences extending beyond its borders.

He also described the situation as a threat to regional stability and stressed the need for Pakistan to make its position towards Afghanistan clear.

The remarks echo Ghani’s earlier public calls for Pakistan to choose between cooperation and hostility, although the supplied report does not specify when the latest statements were made.
