Pakistanis visit Kabul

-

KABUL, Afghanista­n — An Afghan official says a Pakistani delegation is in Kabul to meet Afghan authoritie­s amid increased tensions.

Monday’s meeting is the first since the Pakistani Embassy closed its consular section in Kabul earlier this month, citing unspecifie­d security concerns.

Afghanista­n and Pakistan have an uneasy relationsh­ip. Kabul blames Islamabad for supporting the Taliban in the country’s protracted war, a charge Pakistan denies.

The two countries also trade accusation­s that each side is firing across their shared border.
