Pakistan has summoned the Afghan Chargé d'Affaires to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Islamabad and a strong demarche was issued regarding the Karachi terrorist attack.

This was stated by Spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Tahir Andrabi, while responding to media queries regarding Pakistan's demarche to the Afghan Taliban regime following the Karachi terrorist attack.

The Spokesperson said a similar demarche was conveyed by Pakistan's Ambassador, Ubaid-ur-Rehman Nizamani, to the Afghan Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Tahir Andrabi said these demarches were issued in light of the fact that Afghan nationals, including one apprehended alive, participated in this attack, proving yet again that Afghan soil and Afghan nationals continue to be used to orchestrate terrorist attacks inside Pakistan.
