'Wrong Step By Pak'
Afghan Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi, addressing the media in New Delhi on Friday, blamed Pakistan for the attack and said such issues cannot be resolved by strength.
"There has been an attack near the border in remote areas. We consider this act of Pakistan wrong. Problems cannot be solved like this... We have kept the door to discussion open. They should solve their problem on their own," Muttaqi said during a press conference after meeting External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar.
"Afghanistan has peace and progress after 40 years. No one should have a problem with it... We are an independent nation. Why are people troubled if we have peace... We want better relations with India and Pakistan, but it cannot be one-sided...," Muttaqi said.
"The courage of Afghans should not be tested. If someone wants to do this, they should ask the Soviet Union, America and NATO, so that they can explain that it is not good to play games with Afghanistan...," he warned.
