Afghan Voice Agency (AVA): In recent days, the US and Pakistan released separate statements about the phone call between the foreign ministers of the two countries. These statements indicate significant differences in the approaches of the two countries towards the issue of Afghanistan.
Content of the statements
While the US State Department did not mention the situation in Afghanistan in its statement and seems to be inclined to remove this issue from its public agenda.
Unlike the US, the Pakistani Foreign Ministry clearly referred to the discussion on the situation in Afghanistan and announced that the US Secretary of State agreed with the need to resolve the issue of remaining military equipment in Afghanistan. This indicates Pakistan's efforts to play a more active role in Afghan issues.
The difference in the approaches of the two countries shows that Pakistan is seeking to exploit this situation to strengthen its position in the region.
According to Tasnim, this request practically means the gradual disarmament of the Islamic Emirate, because a large part of the arsenal and military equipment in the hands of the Islamic Emirate are the same equipment that were previously provided by the United States to the army of the former Afghan government.
On the other hand, the silence of the United States may mean Washington's distancing itself from the complex and sensitive issues of Afghanistan. The United States seems to be trying to reduce the burden of responsibilities arising from the current situation in Afghanistan by removing this issue from its agenda.
It is said that the difference in the narratives of the two countries indicates the challenges existing in Afghan issues and international relations in this regard.
According to the media, it seems that Pakistan is seeking to use this opportunity to advance its goals. This situation could have profound effects on the future of Afghanistan and relations between the two countries, and highlights the need for further attention and consideration.
