ISLAMABAD (AFP) - Pakistan hopes that a meeting between President Pervez Musharraf and his Afghan counterpart Hamid Karzai in Turkey next week will help clear up misunderstandings, the foreign office said Monday. The two key allies of the US-led war on terror have been at loggerheads for months over Kabul’s claims that Islamabad is either failing to tackle or is actively fostering a growing Taliban insurgency.

“It is always useful to maintain dialogue,” foreign office spokeswoman Tasnim Aslam said at a weekly briefing when asked what Pakistan’s aims were from the meeting due on April 29.Aslam said statements from Afghanistan “reflect a lack of understanding about Pakistan and our policy and what we are doing to ensure that there is no cross-border movement by undesirable elements.”

Pakistan says it has 80,000 troops stationed on the frontier with Afghanistan to stop insurgents crossing and that pro-government tribesmen recently killed 300 “foreign militants” in the region.But Pakistan’s plans to fence part of the border have angered Afghanistan. On Thursday Kabul said its troops had torn down some fencing and clashed with Pakistani soldiers.

Pakistan was one of three countries that recognised the harsh Taliban regime in the late 1990s, but later supported the US-led invasion of Afghanistan after the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States.Aslam said that Pakistan has stood by Afghanistan “in all times of adversity very consistently” but said that its neighbour faced massive internal problems including from drugs, warlords and a lack of national reconciliation efforts.

She reiterated that the presence of some three million Afghan refugees was creating problems for Pakistan because “there are reports that the refugees are providing shelter to Taliban and others.”

If the Afghans don't like Pakistan, then why don't their people just leave and go back to their own country?
