dated June 30, 1955: Pak-Afghan dispute

The six-week-old Pakistan-Afghan talks over the "flag incidents" have failed. The mediators from Saudi Arabia and Egypt are scheduled to return to their countries. Announcing the failure of the talks, the Saudi Envoy, Prince Musaid Abdur Rahman, said in Karachi on June 28 that the question of reopening the Consulates in the two countries had led to the breakdown. The Kabul incident, in which the Pakistani flag on her Embassy was pulled down and the Embassy sacked by a mob on March 30, was followed by similar incidents at Peshawar three days later, involving the Afghan Consulate and the Afghan flag. Pakistan agreed to reopen its Consulate in Jalalabad and Kandahar - closed after the incident - within thirty days of rehoisting the Pakistani flag at her Kabul Embassy on condition that Afghanistan stopped propaganda on the issue of Pushtoonistan. Afghanistan has said it is not possible to agree to the condition.
