Pakistan to boycott Bonn meet on Afghanistan


15
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan will boycott an international conference on Afghanistan’s future in Bonn next week to protest against a Nato cross-border attack that killed two dozen of its soldiers and plunged the region deeper into crisis, officials said on Tuesday.
“Pakistan has decided not to attend the Bonn conference as a protest,” a government official told Reuters after a cabinet meeting chaired by Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani in Lahore.
