KABUL -- President Hamid Karzai said this week that Pakistan's proposal to selectively mine and fence parts of the border between the two countries will not stop the terrorism that plagues Afghanistan.
Mr. Karzai also acknowledged during a press conference with Pakistani Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz that the relations between the two neighbors have hit a low point, saying the two countries will try to improve them in coming months.
Mr. Aziz said the plan, first announced last month, is still being considered as part of his country's drive to stop militants from crossing over and launching attacks against Afghan and foreign troops.
