The Afghan president Hamid Karzai says he's suspending efforts to talk to the Afghan Taliban and will focus instead on dialogue with Pakistan in efforts to bring security to the country. Jill McGiving reports.

阿富汗总统哈米德·卡尔扎伊表示，他将暂停与阿富汗塔利班对话的努力，将重点放到与巴基斯坦的对话上来，为本国安全而努力。Jill McGiving报道。

President Karzai told religious leaders in Kabul that if Afghanistan wanted to pursue peace talks, its only dialogue partner was Pakistan. He couldn't talk to the Taliban leader Mullah Mohammad Omar, he said, because he couldn’t be found and neither could the Taliban council. Therefore, he added, "we can not talk to anyone but to Pakistan". It's the clearest statement yet that the Afghan government may have abandoned its attempt to political dialogue with the Taliban. The recent murder of Afghanistan's main negotiator Burhanuddin Rabbani threw its policy into chaos.

卡尔扎伊总统告诉喀布尔的宗教领袖，如果阿富汗要寻求和平谈判，它唯一的对话对象就是巴基斯坦。他说，他不会与塔利班领导人毛拉穆罕默德奥马尔对话的，因为根本就找不到此人，也找不到塔利班委员会。因此，他说，“我们只能与巴基斯坦对话，除此别无他人。”这是阿富汗做出的最清晰的声明，然而，阿富汗政府或许已经放弃与塔利班进行政治对话的努力。最近，阿富汗主要协调者拉巴尼遇害，这使该国政治陷入混乱。
