PESHAWAR: Afghanistan, as an independent entity, enjoys friendly relations with many countries, including India, but it should not be lumped together with India on important issues, Afghan Ambassador to Pakistan, Dr. Omar Zakhilwal said on Wednesday.

A high-level diplomatic delegation, comprising ambassadors of Afghanistan, Austria, Czech Republic, Denmark, the European Union and the Charge d’Affaires of the Netherlands, head of ECHO Pakistan, Chief Commissioner for Afghan Refugees Dr. Imran Zeb Khan and UNHCR Representative Indrika Ratwatte attended the inauguration ceremony held at the Azakhel repatriation centre.

The UN refugee agency (UNHCR) inaugurated the agency’s second voluntary repatriation centre in Nowshera district, to facilitate the safe and dignified return of Afghan refugees to Afghanistan.

Zakhilwal who was speaking to the media said that there was misrepresentation of facts concerning India’s influence in Afghanistan.

Answering a question on the Saarc Summit, the Afghan envoy said that although Afghanistan was not a prominent member of the Saarc grouping, it was geographically part of both Central and South Asia.

“Pakistan is the closest country to us in South Asia and any decision taken will be on the basis of bilateral relationships. We have good relations with India, but intend to have even better relations with Pakistan,” he asserted.

With the opening of a new centre in Azakhel in Nowshera, UNHCR now has the capacity to facilitate the return of up to 10,000 refugees every day via the Torkham border crossing, a UNHCR statement said.

Appreciating Pakistan’s decision to extend the stay of Afghan refugees till the end of March next year, UNHCR’s Representative Indrika said: “This … is an important decision … which recognises the importance of policies to manage the legal stay of registered Afghans in Pakistan.”

Chief Commissioner for Afghan Refugees Dr Imran Zeb Khan said: “Pakistan has ensured that the repatriation remains voluntary and that returns are conducted in safety and dignity.”

Dr Zeb also acknowledged the commitment and ownership of Afghanistan to facilitate the repatriation of Afghans and the steps taken to enable their sustainable reintegration.

Dr Omar Zakhilwal encouraged Afghan refugees to return to their homeland “despite challenges and join the nation-building process.”

Could not care less. Pakistan is strong and powerful enough to make sure india and/or Afghanistan are kept in place. Pakistan needs to permanently, completely seal our borders both with india and Afghanistan. Most importantly we need to reduce our contact with India to a lower level then we have with Ethiopia & Somalia.

You cannot have your cake and eat it. Either you leave our lands and go back to Afghanistan OR we can transport you to your best buddies India via wagah, OR you play by our rules.

Correct, and this is exactly what the Americans say about Pakistan's duplicity in war on terror. "You cannot have the cake and eat it".

How come they failed ??

NATO met all their objectives.

• Succeeded in dismantling Al-Qaeda network and toppling the Taliban.
• Captured or killed (via Drone) almost all top leadership of Al-Qaeda and Taliban and are still doing. Mulla Mansoor being the latest top valued target.
• Does Taliban rule Afghanistan ATM ?? NO.
• Taliban doesn't have anything more than a nuisance value, and without external support they can't do much. And the world know very well who is supporting them.

But still you may think NATO failed. But mark my words. NATO came here according to their wish. They will leave this place only if they wish to, no one can do a damn about that. LOL

If you send all those Afghans back then who is going to clean your garbage in your cities, drive your cars as drivers, drive your buses and trucks, and most of all make wonderful naans. But at end of the day, your country probably will be better off without their presence.

Kabul is the only colony. The rest of Afghanistan is still free. Negotiating peace with Taliban now after total military failure. All those lives lost in vain for a pointless cause.

Where does the NATO supply route go from again? Pakistan holds all the cards.

AQ has morphed into ISIS, boko haram, AQ in the magreb and a hundred other groups because of your idiot actions

After hundreds of billions going into trillions spent thousands of dead soldiers with thousands more injured and even more civilian dead iraq and Afghanistan are a mess


The Afghan government barley rules outside Kabul and Taliban are rampant

Apparently they call this a military success. Not sure who is more stupid, Indians or these chumps.

Who needs Al Quaedi or the Taliban when you have ISIS here there and everywhere. The interests of NATO are not absolute and permanent. If it suits them, they will help facilitate the return of the Taliban or anyone else for that matter. And no one can stop them.

Sustained northern alliance rule was not the objective of NATO, it is just doing a duty of goodwill. NATO had already achieved it's military objectives as far as 9/11 and it's repercussions are concerned. That's what I told.

 

[tore]

Pakistanis only look at we have Afghan refugees bla bla bla. Namak haram bla bla bla

But supporting Taliban who killed thousands of Afghans and still doing is not something they can see. Pakistan want's to control Afghanistan like under Taliban rule, but that is not gonna happen.

Pakistan dont want to control your country. You people are in Pakistan, pakistanis are not in Afghanistan. We are closing the border , sending afghan to afghanistan, what rubbish that Pakistan wants to conrol Afghanistan.
