Talks between leaders of Pakistan and Afghanistan in Doha
Let us tell you that after the return of Taliban to power in Kabul in 2021, there is the biggest conflict between the two neighbors (Pakistan-Afghanistan). Afghan officials confirmed that a Kabul delegation led by Defense Minister Mullah Muhammad Yaqoob participated in the Doha talks, while Pakistan Defense Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif led discussions with Taliban representatives.
Pakistan made allegations
Pakistan’s Foreign Office said the talks focused on immediate measures from Afghanistan to end cross-border terrorism against Pakistan and to restore peace and stability along the Pak-Afghan border. The violence began after Islamabad demanded Afghanistan to rein in terrorists who were carrying out attacks from across the border into Pakistan.
What answer did Taliban give?
The Taliban denied harboring terrorists and accused Pakistan of spreading misinformation to destabilize Afghanistan and supporting Islamic State-linked groups. Islamabad rejected these allegations, saying that terrorists have been waging a long-term campaign to overthrow the Pakistani government and impose strict Islamic rule.
