Pakistan Rules Out Talks With Afghanistan as Clashes Continue

Pakistan won’t begin talks to end clashes with Afghanistan until Kabul stops supporting and harboring militant groups that launch cross-border attacks from its territory, a spokesman for Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said.

“There won’t be any talks,” Sharif’s spokesperson for foreign media Mosharraf Zaidi told state-run Pakistan Television on Thursday night. “Terrorism from Afghanistan has to end.”
