The Afghan government summoned a Pakistan diplomat to explain Prime Minister Imran Khan’s latest remarks on ongoing Afghan peace talks, as tensions flared between the neighbouring countries once again.<\/h2>\n

Ariana News Agency-<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Afghanistan’s ministry of foreign affairs summoned the diplomat to object about remarks that it deemed \u201cexplicit interference\u201d in Afghan affairs, the ministry’s spokesman, Sibghatullah Ahmadi, said on Twitter.<\/p>\n

It marks the fourth time in about a month and a half that Kabul has demanded an explanation from Islamabad for comments related to peace talks aimed at ending 17 years of war in Afghanistan.<\/p>\n

In late March, Afghanistan recalled its ambassador from Islamabad for Khan’s suggestion that forming an interim Afghan government might smooth peace talks between U.S. and Taliban officials.<\/p>\n

The ambassador returned shortly after Pakistan clarified the premier’s remarks as being reported out of context.<\/p>\n

But on Friday, the prime minister addressed the matter again at a rally in Pakistan in which he explained his original comments as \u201cbrotherly advice,\u201d according to accounts published in Afghan media.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfghanistan considers recent statements of Imran Khan explicit interference in internal affairs of Afghanistan and deems PM’s remarks a return to his previous stance,\u201d Ahmadi tweeted.<\/p>\n

U.S. and Taliban officials have held several rounds of talks but the Taliban has refused to talk directly to the Afghan government, which they consider an illegitimate regime.<\/p>\n

Afghan President Ashraf Ghani’s mandate officially expires in May. The date for the next presidential election has been postponed twice and is now set for Sept. 28.<\/p>\n

Ghani has been shut out from the peace talks and is under pressure from rivals to step aside and allow a caretaker government to take over, a suggestion he has rejected.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
