Along with the IEA Foreign Minister Mawlawi Amir Khan Muttaqi, the session also included Deputy Defense Minister Alhaj Mullah Shirin Akhund where the Afghan side condemned the recent attacks on Khost and Kunar provinces, stressing prevention of such acts. Minister Muttaqi said all military violations including that in Khost and Kunar must be prevented as such acts deteriorates relations between the two countries, allowing antagonists to misuse the situation leading to undesired consequences. To end, the Pakistani Ambassador was given a strong démarche to deliver to his leaders.
