(Afghanistan, Pakistan) - ' ..the two countries “need to go beyond the usual stale rhetoric and shadowy conspiracy theories that have held us back.” '

'Earlier in the day Abdullah told the Institute of Strategic Studies in Islamabad that he believes that after “many troubling years” the two countries “need to go beyond the usual stale rhetoric and shadowy conspiracy theories that have held us back.”

He said people are demanding “fresh approaches” and it is more urgent than ever “to look to our region as one region.”

Afghanistan has long had troubled relations with Pakistan, which Kabul and Washington accuse of harboring and aiding the Taliban leadership, a claim Islamabad has denied.

Pakistan claims its influence over the Taliban is overstated but says it is willing to do whatever is possible for peace in Afghanistan.

Abdullah’s visit comes as intra-Afghan peace negotiations are under way in the Gulf state of Qatar.'
