Afghan foreign ministry rejects Pakistan’s claim of multiple calls from Muttaqi

The Afghan Ministry of Foreign Affairs has rejected statements by Pakistan’s Foreign Minister, Ishaq Dar, claiming that he received six phone calls in a single day from Amir Khan Muttaqi, the Foreign Minister of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan.

The ministry described Dar’s remarks as “inaccurate.”

In a statement, the Afghan Foreign Ministry clarified that the first contact between the two sides took place within the framework of mutual understanding and coordination.

During that call, according to the ministry, Dar acknowledged he was not fully briefed on the situation and said he would follow up after obtaining complete information.

A second conversation was held on that basis, while a third attempted call from Dar the following day reportedly failed to connect for technical reasons.

The ministry stressed that international relations must be guided by mutual respect and factual communication.

It said that inaccurate public statements undermine diplomatic engagement and contradict the principles of respectful dialogue between Kabul and Islamabad.

Earlier, Ishaq Dar—who also serves as Pakistan’s Deputy Prime Minister—told the Senate that he had received six calls in one day from Muttaqi. He added that he urged the Afghan side to act against the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), warning, “Do not allow your soil to be used against us.”

Pakistan has not released further details about the conversations between the two foreign ministers.
