Pakistan Thanks Turkiye, Qatar for Mediation Efforts in Regional Security Talks

Pakistan's Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting, Attaullah Tarar, expressed gratitude to the brotherly nations of Turkiye and Qatar for their mediation efforts in facilitating talks on regional security matters. 

However, the minister emphasized that the onus lies on Afghanistan to fulfill its long-standing international, regional, and bilateral pledges, particularly regarding the control of terrorism, an area where, according to Pakistan, Afghanistan has thus far failed to meet its obligations.

“Pakistan does not harbor any ill-will against the Afghan people. However, we cannot support any actions by the Afghan Taliban regime that undermine the well-being of the Afghan people or the security interests of neighboring countries,” Tarar said in his remarks.

He added that despite Pakistan’s commitment to maintaining good relations with Afghanistan, particularly in addressing issues of mutual concern, the country will continue to pursue every necessary option to protect its national security and sovereignty.
