Pakistan hopes next round of talks with Kabul will yield positive results
Pakistan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Tahir Andrabi says Islamabad is hopeful for a “positive outcome” from the next round of talks with the Islamic Emirate, which is scheduled to take place on November 6.
Speaking at a press briefing on Friday, Andrabi said that the second round of negotiations between Pakistan and IEA concluded yesterday evening in Istanbul, with mediators in attendance.
He emphasized that Pakistan is not seeking to further escalate hostilities, but expects IEA to uphold its commitments to the international community and to address Pakistan’s security concerns by taking verifiable action against the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA).
The Islamic Emirate has previously denied the presence of the TTP in Afghanistan, saying that Afghanistan is not responsible for Pakistan’s “security failures.”
