Afghanistan will not have peace and stability unless the post-Taliban country enjoys support from
neighboring countries especially Pakistan, the Special U.S. Envoy for Afghanistan and Pakistan Richard Holbrooke said here Sunday.
"I don't believe that you can have full peace and stability in Afghanistan unless you have support from Pakistan for that objection," Holbrooke told an open discussion attended by political analysts, journalists and public opinion leaders.
He also added that the problems are fighting war across the border and militants sanctuary which is a matter of concern for Afghanistan.
"President Karzai talks about that a lot of years and we agree that the problems of sanctuaries must be solved," he stressed "I came here from Islamabad and talked about the subject with President Zardari, the members of the Pakistan government and with military and I made my views very clear on behalf of our government," he added.
Taliban militants frequently transfer across the border area between Afghanistan and Pakistan, making it difficult to curb the Taliban insurgency from the Afghan side alone.
U.S. military in the latest wave of targeting militants in Pakistan's tribal area attacked north Wazirustan by unmanned plane, killing 15 suspected insurgents, according to media reports.
