Afghan Minister: #pakistan posing problems in Afghanistan''s trade with neighbors

Afghanistan today suggested that Pakistan was posing "problems" in its trade and transit with India, and asked Islamabad to address it.In an apparent reference to Pakistan, Afghanistan also said "external interference" on its territory and sought "frank cooperation" from SAARC Speakers' forum in solving problems of the Afghan people."I would like to take the opportunity and inform you of trade and transit problems between India and Afghanistan and some parts of the world in Pakistan and I hope our Pakistani friends pay serious attention in this regard," said Abdul Raouf Ibrahimi, President of the Wolesi Jirga (lower house of the bicameral National Assembly of Afghanistan).He was addressing the 5th Conference of SAARC Speakers and Parliamentarians here.In the current circumstances, war and external interference is still continuing in our country, he said.Ibrahimi said the responsibilities bordering countries have towards the landlocked countries were unfortunately not taken into account and virtually violated."We need the frank cooperation of all our parliamentary member friends in this organisation and through them ask for their governments straightforward cooperation in solving the problems of the Afghan people," he said.
