Kabul, Dec 20: President Hamid Karzai is urging Pakistan to open up communications and create a one-on-one relationship with neighboring Afghanistan. 


He said it's needed regardless of Pakistan's views about its rival, India, or its rocky ties with the U.S.  Islamist insurgents use the border area to stage attacks in Afghanistan.

Karzai also denied that he wants Afghanistan to become a parliamentary system with a president and prime minister.
