Muttaqi urges Pakistan to stop its ‘verbal conflict’ and fine cause of problems
Acting Minister of Foreign Affairs Amir Khan Muttaqi said in a discussion with the head of the Institute of Strategic Studies Islamabad that Pakistan should focus on finding the cause of its problems instead of making accusations and media statements.
According to a statement released by the ministry, Muttaqi said in the meeting that Afghanistan and Pakistan are two brotherly nations with many commonalities, therefore the relations between them should be based on good neighborliness and understanding.
He also said that some problems harm the relations between the two countries, so instead of verbal conflict and media statements, the causes of these problems should be sought.
Muttaqi added that peace and stability in Afghanistan was the great goal of the Islamic Emirate, which has now been achieved, and peace and stability in the region is also the goal of the Islamic Emirate.
He said the Islamic Emirate has made great progress in trade relations with Pakistan and the geographical location of Afghanistan has many opportunities for the two countries that should be seized.
He emphasized that the Islamic Emirate is committed to not allowing harm to come from Afghanistan. He also said that Afghanistan and Pakistan should not doubt each other’s “good intentions” and avoid any “challenging issues”.
Meanwhile, Sohail Mahmood, head of the Institute of Strategic Studies Islamabad, said that with the establishment of the Islamic Emirate, preventing bloodshed, ensuring overall security in Afghanistan, banning and reducing drug production, eliminating administrative corruption, paying attention to economic affairs and other positive developments are appreciable.
Referring to the security incidents and concerns related to the security situation in Pakistan, he expressed hope that the existing problems will be solved through dialogue.
