KARACHI: Pakistan’s Defense Minister Khawaja Asif is leading the delegation of his country to Doha to hold talks with Afghan officials today, Saturday, demanding an end to “cross-border terrorism,” said the foreign office in a statement. The development comes after days of fierce battles between the two neighbors along their long and porous border, which led to the deaths of dozens of people on both sides, with Pakistan carrying out airstrikes in Kandahar and Kabul before the two sides reached an uneasy truce that opened the window for bilateral talks arranged by Qatar.
