Busan: US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton regretted Pakistan’s decision to boycott next week’s international conference on Afghanistan in reaction to a Nato attack that killed 24 of its soldiers.
She was talking to media in South Korea on Wednesday. She expressed the hope that Islamabad would find a way to attend the moot.
She said that Pakistan and allies would gain nothing by turning their backs on mutually beneficial cooperation.
Frankly it is regrettable that Pakistan has decided not to attend the conference in Bonn,” she was quoted as saying.
“I would express regret and hope that perhaps there can be a follow-up way that we can have the benefit of Pakistani participation in this international effort to try to work a stable, secure peaceful outcome in Afghanistan.”
Clinton stressed that US officials were making every effort to investigate what she called a “tragic incident”.
“What is most important I think is that we learn lessons from this tragedy because we have to continue to work together.”
