The connectivity conference in Tashkent, attended by almost all foreign ministers from Central and South Asia, saw sparks fly between Pakistan and Afghanistan before both sides cooled the tensions with a meeting between their leaders Imran Khan and Ashraf Ghani.
External Affairs Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar and Imran Khan also crossed swords, though indirectly. In an indirect reference to the Pakistan army’s obdurate stance on trade and connectivity with India, Jaishankar said the real issue was of mindsets, not of disputes. Imran in his speech cited the Kashmir issue as a major hindrance to connectivity projects.
