International pressures on IEA will lead to instability in Afghanistan: Muttaqi
Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi says international pressures against the Islamic Emirate will lead Afghanistan to uncontrollable insecurity and instability.
In an event titled “waiver of tax penalties, supporting industry and trade” held on Sunday at the presidential palace, Muttaqi made these statements.
The foreign minister has said that continuing any pressure on the Islamic Emirate will not benefit any side.
“If anyone puts high pressure on Afghanistan, it means that it will lead Afghanistan to insecurity and instability, and this time no one will be able to control it, but this is not in the interest of anyone,” said Muttaqi.
Referring to the recent security incidents in the country, he also said that some foreign circles are involved in making the situation unsafe in Afghanistan.
“Today, in the security concerns, ask the intelligence whether internal or external hands are involved. Where do those who are arrested in connection with these events come from?” he asked.
“That’s why we call on Afghanistan’s neighbors that a peaceful and stable Afghanistan is beneficial to the entire region.”
Muttaqi still does not consider the recent border tensions between Afghanistan and Pakistan to the benefit of any side and asks this country to adhere to the principles of diplomacy and neighborliness towards Afghanistan.
“We appeal to Pakistan that border tensions are neither for your benefit nor for our benefit, we ask you [Pakistan] the same when we address you as a Muslim brother,” he said.
“When we provided you [Pakistan] the transitway to Central Asia, we also ask you to provide us the transitway,” he added.
Meanwhile, the IEA’s foreign minister has also called on the international community to take the path of negotiation and dialogue with the Islamic Emirate instead of applying pressure, because according to him, the only solution to Afghanistan’s problems is negotiation.
