While referring to Pakistan he said, "Where we haven't had progress, despite trying, unfortunately is with Pakistan. "The Indian leadership reiterated its support for a negotiated political reconciliation in Afghanistan that is Afghan led, owned and controlled", the statement said. Ghani also rubbished Pakistan's claims that India and Afghanistan are colluding to work against its interests.
