A spokesperson for Pakistan\u2019s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has stated that Islamabad supports Iran\u2019s efforts to facilitate talks with Kabul and is ready to welcome any form of mediation from Tehran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Taher Hussain Andrabi, the spokesperson, said that Iran is a \u201cbrotherly and friendly\u201d country, and Islamabad supports the peaceful resolution of issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Andrabi added that Pakistan has a \u201cstrong stance\u201d regarding \u201cterrorist threats originating from Afghan territory\u201d and, therefore, has no concerns about the mediation process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He emphasized that usually the party in a weaker position avoids mediators, but Pakistan welcomes the process due to the strength of its claims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Islamabad has repeatedly urged Kabul to halt attacks; however, the Islamic Emirate has rejected these claims, stating that it does not allow any group to conduct attacks against other governments from Afghan territory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Turkey and Qatar hosted three rounds of talks between delegations from Islamabad and Kabul, but these ended without results\u2014particularly after bombardments in Kabul and clashes along the de facto border in October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Recently, Pakistan\u2019s Ministry of Defense said that the talks have entered an \u201cuncertain phase\u201d and, due to serious disagreements, no progress has been made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Iran, Russia, Turkey, and Qatar have initiated efforts to bring Kabul and Islamabad to the negotiating table through diplomatic means. Iran has said it is ready to provide any support to reduce violence and resolve differences. Similarly, Turkey is ready to send a high-level delegation to Islamabad for further consultations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Following the failure of talks and border closures, the Islamic Emirate suspended trade relations with Pakistan; nevertheless, despite ongoing crises, regional countries remain hopeful that diplomatic efforts can provide solutions to prevent the escalation of tensions between Kabul and Islamabad.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
