Amidst the recent clashes on the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan, Afghanistan’s Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaki has given a strong message to Pakistan in a press conference. He said that some special people are trying to spoil the mild situation in Pakistan, whereas the general public and many political people of Pakistan like peace. Afghanistan made it clear that it wants a peaceful solution through negotiations, but if this does not happen then it knows how to protect itself.
‘We want good relations, but will protect the borders’
Muttaki said, ‘We want good relations with Pakistan. The people and political leaders of Pakistan love peace and want peace with Afghanistan. But there are some special people in Pakistan who are trying to spoil the situation. He said that Afghanistan will remain alert regarding the security of its borders. After the operation that took place last night, Qatar and Saudi Arabia said that the war should stop. The war has stopped from our side. We want good relations with all countries and want all countries to protect their borders.
‘Today there is peace in Afghanistan after 40 years of war’- Muttaki
The Foreign Minister said that Afghanistan has established peace after decades of war. He said, ‘We have seen war for 40 years. But today Afghanistan is free and standing on its own feet. No major incident has happened here in the last 4 years. Everyone is united and our policy is ‘zero tension policy’. He further said, ‘We want a solution through talks first. If this does not happen then we know how to protect ourselves.
On the question of human rights, the Foreign Minister said that the rights of all men and women are protected in Afghanistan. If anyone has any problem he can go to the government. Be it a man or a woman, there is no restriction on it. We have forgiven all the atrocities that happened in 49 years. Those who killed our people, burnt their dead bodies, also forgave them – so that they realize that this is everyone’s homeland.
He claimed that under the Islamic system no one can commit atrocities, big or small. He said, ‘I myself travel by motorcycle in Kabul. Today there is such peace that business is benefiting and businessmen are coming from neighboring countries.
Confirmation of operation conducted on Pakistan
The Afghan Foreign Minister said that a ‘retaliatory operation’ was carried out by Afghanistan last night. Our operation achieved its target. We took full care that there should be no harm to common citizens.
‘TTP has no base in Afghanistan’
Rejecting Pakistan’s allegations, the Foreign Minister said, ‘TTP has no center in Afghanistan. Before our success, when the Pakistani government had conducted operations in the tribal areas, some tribal people had come to Afghanistan. But they do not have any permanent base in Afghanistan. He said that the Afghan-Pak border (Durand Line) is a 2,500 km long and inaccessible mountainous area. ‘Neither Genghis Khan nor anyone else could control this area. If it has to be controlled then it can be done only with gentleness and peace, not with force.
‘Pakistan needs to improve its internal situation’
Afghan Foreign Minister said that Pakistan is technologically ahead, yet it is not able to establish peace in its areas. Pakistan needs to improve its internal situation. There are many countries in our neighborhood but they have no complaints.

Reply on embassy flag controversy
On the flag controversy at the embassy, the Foreign Minister said, ‘We carried out jihad under this flag and achieved success. That’s why we have put up this flag.

On India-Taliban relations, he said, ‘Till now the Indian government has not given formal recognition to the Taliban government.
