IEA does not intend to harm Pakistan: Prime Minister
Prime Minister Mullah Mohammad Hasan Akhund, in meeting with Pakistan’s Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam political party chief, on Monday reiterated that the Islamic Emirate does not intend to harm Pakistan, nor does it allow anyone to pose a threat to other countries from Afghanistan.
In the meeting, Akhund called on Pakistan to stop “tyrannical treatment” of Afghan refugees.
He expressed hope that the visit of the delegation would help improve the relations between the two countries.
According to the PM, Afghanistan and Pakistan have a lot in common in different fields, and while there may be challenges in the relations between the governments of the two countries, the people and the scholars of the two countries are inseparable because of the common values.
Based on the statement, Maulana Fazl-ur-Rehman, chief of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam political party, stated in the meeting that the purpose of his visit to Afghanistan is to resolve misunderstandings between the two countries and to find ways for cooperation in political, economic and commercial fields.

Earlier, Acting Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi told reporters that issues of mutual interest including economy and security will be discussed in talks with Maulana Fazl-ur-Rehman.
