, Pakistan has shown signs of cooperating with Afghanistan to stop the flow of unwanted Taliban militants across a shared border in past months and this must continue, Afghan President Hamid Karzai said on Feb. 14.
Karzai, speaking after talks with Prime Minister Tony Blair, said security in Afghanistan had improved since September.
