Afghan President Hamid Karzai said Thursday he was going into a meeting with his Pakistan counterpart to "find solutions" to mounting Taliban unrest even after Pervez Musharraf appeared to call him a liar.
The two key allies in the US "war on terror" are to meet under the mediation of Turkey from Sunday after months of bickering with each accusing the other of not doing enough against the extremists attacking on both sides of the border. Asked at a media briefing specifically about the label of "liar," Karzai said, "Yes, he has mentioned me."
He added: "We attend this meeting to find a solution for a problem which is gripping Afghanistan, Pakistan and the region with good intentions. We hope to come with good achievements." "We hope to have achievements for peace in the region, peace in Afghanistan and Pakistan, from the tripartite meeting."
