Islamabad is expecting New Delhi to play a “constructive role” in Afghanistan through its engagement with the Taliban regime, Pakistan’s ambassador to China has said.
Speaking to Chinese state media, ambassador Moin ul Haque said that “they (Pakistan) expect India to play a positive and constructive role” in Afghanistan.
“In the past, India has acted as a spoiler and worked against peace in Afghanistan,” claimed Haque in an interview with the tabloid Global Times published online on Tuesday night.
He was responding to a question on what he thought about India’s engagement with the Taliban, which swept to power in mid-August while western forces were pulling out of Afghanistan.
“In fact, any effort of the regional countries should be aimed at stabilising the situation with a view to ease the sufferings of the Afghan people,” he said.
Haque said Beijing and Islamabad were closely monitoring the situation in Afghanistan and also coordinating policies.
