Border (with Afghanistan) will not be closed nor trade will stop. Why should Afghans suffer because of the idiosyncratic behaviour of Narendra Modi, Qureshi was quoted as saying.<\/p>\n<p>Despite tensions with India, Pakistan is totally focused on the situation and its role in Afghanistan. It (Kashmir situation) can be a huge distraction but we are very clear what we need to do in Afghanistan, he added while responding to a question if escalation of tension with India can distract Pakistan.<\/p>\n<p>Qureshi said that Pakistan did not believe in any strategic depth. We want good neighbourly relations with Afghanistan and peaceful co-existence. We have no favourites in the upcoming election. It is not our business who governs Afghanistan. We will not interfere. Whoever you [Afghanistan] will choose, we will work with them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The foreign minister emphasised that honesty was the best way forward between the two countries. It is foolish to think we can trick each other, he said, adding that blaming each other was not an option. Accusatory statement will not help each other.<\/p>\n<p>He also said that we do not want Talibanisation of any region but they [Taliban] are Afghans and they are a reality . He added: We will also support intra-Afghan dialogue. The process has to be Afghan-owned and Afghan-led.<\/p>\n<p>Qureshi told the delegation that he had invited the foreign ministers of Afghanistan&#8217;s and China for a trilateral meeting.
