ISLAMABAD, Feb. 21 (Xinhua) -- Afghanistan ambassador to Pakistan Omar Zakhilwal has called for reduction of tension with Pakistan, after a series of recent terrorist attacks here killed over 100 people in just five days.
Pakistan said that militants who claimed the attacks operated from the Afghan side of the border. Troops of the two countries also involved in cross-border rocketing in the past few days.
Zakhilwal said he had a "very good meeting" with Pakistan Foreign Affairs Adviser Sartaj Aziz and also had a "constrictive and positive talk" in the army headquarters from his return from Kabul on Monday.
"I expect de-escalation of the current tension and the creation of a more positive environment for responding to each other's concerns in a cooperative manner," the ambassador said in a statement.
