PARIS – Canada is working quietly with Afghanistan and Pakistan to find ways to improve both security and traffic flow at a border that has been identified as a vital artery feeding the Taliban-led insurgency, a top Canadian official said here Wednesday.
Arif Lalani, Canada’s ambassador to Afghanistan, made the comment while defending Canada and its allies against criticism from several analysts who were questioning whether the Taliban-led insurgency can be defeated.
He said Canada first brought Afghan and Pakistani officials together in Dubai six months ago, with follow-up meetings being held over the past month in each country.
