KABUL: (DNA) – Afghanistan will return its ambassador to Islamabad after Pakistan clarified Prime Minister Imran Khan’s remarks that Kabul had deemed to be political interference, the Afghan foreign ministry said on Thursday.
On Wednesday, Pakistan’s Foreign Office clarified that PM Imran’s comments on Afghanistan had been misinterpreted and reported out of context in the media, leading to an unwarranted reaction from various quarters.
In his comments on Monday, the prime minister had referred to Pakistan’s model where elections are held under an interim government. “The comments should not be misinterpreted to imply interference in Afghanistan’s internal affairs,” an FO statement said.
The Afghan government recalled ambassador Atif Mashal from Islamabad on Tuesday and demanded an explanation for remarks that it called “irresponsible”.
Finally, after the clarifications, “Mashal will return to Islamabad”, Afghan foreign ministry spokesman Sibghatullah Ahmadi said in a tweet.
