Afghan Voice Agency (AVA) - Kabul: Muttaqi stated this in an interview with Mahshid Hussain Seyed, a Pakistani senator on the sidelines of the conference on Palestine in Tehran.
Hussain Seyed, who was the representative of Pakistan in this conference, told the Express Tribune of Pakistan on Monday (December 25) on his return from Tehran that he had an informal conversation with the Acting Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Emirate.
Acting Minister of Foreign Affairs told this Pakistani politician that Kabul is willing to resolve all issues with Islamabad through dialogue.
This Pakistani senator quoted Muttaqi as saying that after a series of meetings between Pakistani officials and the leadership of the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan, most of the issues had been resolved and both sides were close to an agreement.
According to Muttaqi, the only unresolved issue was the cancellation of the integration of tribal areas, when the negotiations reached a deadlock and the Pakistani government withdrew from the dialogue.
Tribal Areas used to be a federal administration, but the government of Pakistan has integrated it into the state of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The Pakistani Taliban want to cancel the integration of these areas.
But the Express Tribune has written that the government of Pakistan considers canceling the integration of tribal areas as its red line and has set clear conditions for any deal with the Pakistani Taliban.
According to the Express Tribune, these conditions include adherence to the Constitution of Pakistan and complete disarmament.
The Pakistani senator further said about his conversation with Motaghi that the Islamic Emirate reacts negatively to any pressure and threats. Apparently, this issue is an implicit reference to the recent tensions between Pakistan and the Islamic Emirate.
Hussain Seyed said: "First, Mr. Muttaqi, reflecting the Afghan spirit, stated that Afghanistan instinctively reacts negatively to pressure and rejects any intimidation or threats from anyone."
However, the Pakistani senator added that in his conversation with Muttaqi, he found that there seems to be no high-level communication channel between the top leadership of the Islamabad government and Kabul, and hence the two sides are engaged in serious issues of accusations, blame and finger-pointing. Giving is against each other.
During these two years, relations between Islamabad and Kabul have been tense due to what is said to be the Islamic Emirate's refusal to confront the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP).
In recent developments, following two deadly attacks in Pakistan, Islamabad summoned the ambassador of the Islamic Emirate and asked the government of the Islamic Emirate to arrest and hand over the leadership of the Pakistani Taliban.
Based on the new report of the Pakistan Institute for Conflict and Security Studies (PICSS), this year, this country witnessed the highest number of suicide attacks since 2014.
This organization said in a report on Monday, December 25, that half of these attacks targeted Pakistani security forces.
According to this report, at least 329 people have been killed and 582 others have been injured following 29 major suicide attacks in 2023 in this country.
