Ishaq Dar: Pakistan-Afghanistan Relations Have Improved; Imran Khan Calls for Dialogue for Peace

Ishaq Dar, Pakistan’s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, stated that bilateral relations with Afghanistan have significantly improved.

In an interview with Al Jazeera, referencing his two recent visits to Kabul, Dar noted that all decisions made during these trips have been implemented. He said, “On April 19, after four years, I visited Kabul for a day. We discussed trade, economy, migration, and politics.

Every decision made by June 30 was executed.”Dar emphasized that Pakistan’s sole demand from Afghanistan is to curb groups like the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and the Balochistan Liberation Army.

He added, “These groups must be controlled, handed over to us, or expelled elsewhere, as this situation is unacceptable for Islamabad.”Conversely, former Prime Minister Imran Khan, currently imprisoned, accused Army Chief General Asim Munir of deliberately straining ties with Afghanistan.
