The comment by President Hamid Karzai's spokesman, Karim Rahimi, follows two days of deadly clashes at the Afghan-Pakistan border.
Kabul says the violence erupted May 13 after Pakistani forces encroached inside Afghan territory.
Islamabad accuses the Afghan Army of sparking the battle with "unprovoked" fire at several of its border posts.
