Afghan Taliban Calls for Dialogue with Pakistan Amid Rising Military Tensions
Afghan Taliban Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi stated that issues between Afghanistan and Pakistan can be resolved through dialogue and diplomacy. He criticized Pakistan's military for using forceful measures rather than seeking political understanding, accusing it of aggression and pressuring Afghanistan via transit routes and border deployments. Muttaqi emphasized Afghanistan's right to self-defense amid rising military tensions, while Pakistan denies harboring militants and has not responded to these claims. The remarks were made during an event in Russia amid escalating cross-border conflicts.
