Pakistan has said it is facing "certain problems" in Balochistan and tribal areas because of the "Indian presence" in Afghanistan. Confrontation on Pakistan's borders with India has de-escalated considerably during the last three years and the dialogue process has moved in the right direction with the two sides evaluating options to resolve Kashmir issue, Pakistan Foreign Minister Khurshid Kasuri said. However, "we are facing certain problems in Balochistan and the tribal areas because of the Indian presence in Afghanistan," Daily Times quoted him as saying during a recent cabinet briefing. Kasuri's briefing to the cabinet was part of efforts to provide detailed information to ministers on foreign policy issues, it said. Meanwhile, the NWFP governor is likely to be invited to brief the cabinet on the outcome of the peace deal in South Waziristan and its replication in other tribal agencies. The issue of infiltration as alleged by Afghan President Hamid Karzai and Pakistan's proposed civil nuclear and trade cooperation with China would also be discussed in the meeting, it said.
