Pakistan reiterated its pledge to fence the Durand Line, saying that the rest of the fencing would be conducted in a way that satisfied the Islamic Emirate.
The issue of the Durand Line has recently raised tensions between the Islamic Emirate and Islamabad.
Pakistans interior minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmad said that around 2,600 km of the Durand Line has been fenced.
"The fencing extends to around 2,600 km. Only 21 km fencing remains. The rest of the fencing will be done in a way that satisfies the Islamic Emirate. They (Kabul Authorities) are our brothers," he said.
The Islamic Emirate said that it is willing to resolve the issue via negotiations.
"The Islamic Emirate wants all issues to be solved via negotiations, especially the issue of lines (Durand Line) we are ready for talks in this regard," said Inamullah Samangani, deputy spokesman for the Islamic Emirate.
Afghanistans ambassador to Islamabad called the Durand Line a national issue, saying that the decision over its fate should be referred to the nation.
A video on social media appears to show Islamic Emirate forces destroying fencing built by the Pakistani military along the Durand Line.
The force members on the video warned the Pakistani military to stop building fences or they will face dangerous consequences.
"If the Islamic Emirate agrees to fencing, indeed it means the recognition of the line (Durand Line," said Sayed Javad Husseini, leader of Hezb-e-Tawsa Wa Adalat.
The Durand Line has been a controversial issue between the two neighboring countries for a long time.
Despite the opposition of previous Afghan governments to fencing on the Durand Line, the Pakistani officials said that 94 percent of fencing has been finished.
