Pakistan should talk with Afghanistan: Karzai

Relations between Afghanistan and Pakistan have cooled over Karzai’s venomous statements and Kabuls signing of a strategic partnership with India and because of Pakistans anger at the United States and NATO, which killed Pakistani soldiers on the Afghan border.Our wish is that Pakistan have a policy like a neighboring country with Afghanistan, Karzai said in one of several interviews with Afghan television channels.They should be in close contact with Afghanistan, even though Afghanistan has a friendship with India and the US.We are very hopeful that Pakistan based on their national interests and because they are a neighboring country will be in contact with us, Karzai said.Karzai also denied that he wants Afghanistan to adopt a parliamentary system with a president and prime minister.I dont agree with changing the constitution to change from presidential system to a parliament, he said. I am insisting that Afghanistan be run at least 10 more years with a presidential system.
