ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s Foreign Secretary met China’s special envoy on Afghan affairs on Monday, a foreign office spokesman said, a day after Islamabad cancelled a scheduled visit by a top U. S. official.
The decision by Pakistan to postpone the visit of Alice Wells, acting assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asian Affairs, came a week after President Donald Trump said Islamabad was prolonging the war in Afghanistan.
Trump had accused Pakistan of harbouring «agents of chaos» and providing safe havens for militant groups waging an insurgency against the U. S.-backed government in Kabul.
Pakistani officials responded by saying the U. S. should not «scapegoat» Pakistan and accused the American military of failing to eliminate militant sanctuaries inside Afghanistan.
