ISLAMABAD: Two Pakistani staffers at the Pakistan Embassy in Kabul were detained for hours by the National Directorate of Security (NDS), the premier intelligence agency of Afghanistan, under unclear circumstances.

The incident served another blow to the already fraught ties between the two countries.

The two men were in a stationery shop at a market when they were picked up by the NDS sleuths and taken to one of their detention centres along with the embassy’s official vehicle, a source said.

The staffers were identified as Hassan Khanzada, visa assistant at the embassy, and Syed Munir Shah, staff driver. Mr Khanzada was manhandled during the detention, the source said.

The embassy approached the Afghan foreign ministry and sought immediate release of the two staffers. The Afghan foreign ministry, reportedly after a bit of dilly-dallying, conceded that the two had been taken into custody by the NDS.

Mr Khanzada and Mr Shah were finally released after three hours.

The incident happened amid latest efforts by the US-led coalition in Afghanistan to mend fences between Pakistan and Afghanistan in the aftermath of the recent border incident in which about a dozen lives were lost. An Afghan army delegation led by their Director General Military Operations last week visited GHQ where it was agreed during bilateral talks that “an environment of mutual respect, trust, cordiality and cooperation” would be fostered.

On Wednesday, Afghan deputy head of mission Zardasht Shams was summoned to the Foreign Office over the detention of the embassy staffers.

“The Afghan deputy head of mission was summoned to the Foreign Office today to lodge Pakistan’s strong protest over the incident in which two diplomatic officials in Kabul were detained, reportedly by Afghan security agencies,” the FO said.

Pakistan accused Afghanistan of violating Vienna Convention of Diplomatic Relations (1961).

“It was emphasised that such incidents undermined the constructive engagement which the two countries envisaged for strengthening of bilateral ties,” it said.

There are serious concerns about the safety and security of Pakistani diplomats and embassy staff in Kabul. These concerns were reflected in the demarche handed over to Mr Shams in which it was said: “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.”

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan lodged a strong protest with Afghanistan after two of its diplomats posted in Kabul were reportedly detained by Afghan security agencies on Wednesday — in a latest incident suggesting simmering tensions between the two neighbours.

The diplomats were abducted by the National Directorate of Security (NDS) when they were purchasing stationery from a market in Kabul, and kept in detention for three hours, according to sources.

There was no immediate reaction from the Afghan government.

In Islamabad, the Afghan Deputy Head of Mission was summoned to the Foreign Office to lodge Pakistan’s strong protest over the incident.

An official statement said the two diplomatic officials in Kabul were detained, reportedly by Afghan security agencies.

Pakistan reopens border with Afghanistan

The Afghan envoy 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. It was emphasised 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 statement added.

Already tense for months, the relations between the two countries took a turn for the worse after bloody clashes between them near the Chaman border.

These hiccups came despite efforts in recent weeks by the two sides to reset their troubled ties. High-level Pakistani military and parliamentary delegations travelled to Afghanistan as part of the latest push to normalise ties with Kabul.

China upbeat about resolution of Pak-Afghan border crisis

And an Afghan military delegation last week participated in a trilateral meeting, also involving Pakistan and the US, held in Rawalpindi to discuss issues related to security and border management.

Flag meeting

The flag meeting between Pakistan and Afghan military officials, held at the Friendship gate, on the border issue ended without any progress.

It was the fourth flag meeting held between senior military officials after the Afghan forces launched an attack on two villages, claiming 13 lives and injuring 40 others.

Sources said that the meeting which continued just half an hour, ended with no result as Afghan military officials insisted that Pakistani forces leave both border villages Killi Luqman and Killi Jahangir claiming that both the villages belonged to Afghanistan.

However, the military officials representing Pakistan in the flag meeting rejected the demand of the Afghan side and clarified that the geological survey conducted for determining the border proved that both the villages were located in Pakistan’s territory.
