Pakistan Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch said that Islamabad is committed to seeing a peaceful, stable, and connected Afghanistan.
At a press briefing, Baloch said that Pakistan has expressed its desire for Afghanistan to emerge as a trade, and energy connectivity conduit to the region.
"Pakistan has consistently expressed its desire to see a peaceful, prosperous, stable, and connected Afghanistan, so that Afghanistan emerges as a trade, and energy connectivity conduit to our region. As a firm adherent of regional approaches to the situation in Afghanistan, Pakistan participated in meetings and mechanisms aimed at promoting peace in Afghanistan. It also remained committed to dialogue and engagement with Afghanistan as the two countries continue to explore avenues of cooperation, especially in the economic domain," Mumtaz Zahra Baloch noted.
Meanwhile, the Islamic Emirate also emphasized that the current Afghan government is trying to solve the challenges between Kabul and Islamabad.
"Sometimes some accusations or moves have been made that affects the relations. However, the Islamic Emirate still prefers that dialogue and understanding should have its place and should sustain relations with Pakistan in this regard," said Zabihullah Mujahid, spokesman of the Islamic Emirate.
Some political analysts have different views about solving the challenges between Kabul and Islamabad.
"How can we have economic stability when you [Pakistan] deport 800,000 immigrants on the verge of winter, and how can we have stability when you make false claims about the people of Afghanistan," Salim Paigir, a political analyst told TOLOnews.
"What Pakistan says, it should put in action too, and it should have a clear policy regarding Afghanistan," Sayed Qaribullah Sadat, an international relations analyst told TOLOnews.
Previously, Pakistani officials claimed that the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) is in Afghanistan, and it has deported over 450,000 Afghan immigrants, worsening the situation in the country.
