Pakistan denies urging Nato to accept Taliban
Afp, Islamabad
Pakistan yesterday rejected a "distorted" British media report that its foreign minister was urging Nato countries to accept the Taliban and set up a new coalition government in Kabul. The Daily Telegraph said on Wednesday that the minister, Khurshid Kasuri, had told his counterparts in some Nato countries at private briefings that the Taliban are winning the war in Afghanistan and Nato is bound to fail. "The Foreign Minister's comments have been distorted and misrepresented," the Pakistani foreign ministry said in a statement. "The Foreign Minister did not say that the Taliban were winning the war in Afghanistan and Nato was bound to fail nor has he advised any country against sending more troops," the statement said.
