ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: Pakistan on Wednesday lodged a strong protest over the incident in which its two diplomatic officials in Kabul were detained reportedly by the Afghan security agencies.
The protest was lodged to the Kabul government through the Afghan Deputy Head of Mission who was summoned to the Foreign Office in Islamabad today.
The Afghan Deputy Head of Mission was conveyed that the incident was a clear violation of the Vienna Convention of Diplomatic Relations (1961) and against the spirit of the brotherly relations between the two Countries – Pakistan and Afghanistan.
It was emphasized that such incidents undermined the constructive engagement which the two Countries envisaged for strengthening of bilateral ties.
“We urge the Afghan government to take immediate steps to ensure the security and safety of our diplomatic personnel and premises and to ensure that such incident do not take place in future,” the Afghan Deputy Head of Mission was conveyed according to a press release issued by the Foreign Office.
