If the transit trade and movement of people are not linked to politics, the problems will be solved. I hope that the problems of both countries will be solved through dialogue.
Talking about the trade between Pakistan and Afghanistan, the Afghan ambassador added that his country has a policy of good relations with all its neighbors on this matter so that the problems of the people are reduced.
’Afghanistan It wants a modern agreement for transit trade between the two countries, which should not be hindered.
The Afghan ambassador said, ‘The border is often closed whenever there is a fruit season. Apart from this, issuance of visas, obstruction at Karachi port and restriction of movement of people are also among the issues. If Pakistan pays attention to these issues, it will benefit both countries.
The question is whether these obstacles are only on behalf of Pakistan? Has Afghanistan expressed its concerns to Pakistan in this regard? But the Afghan ambassador replied that the obstacles in the trade between Afghanistan and Pakistan are only from the side of Pakistan, about which his country has informed.
Sardar Ahmed Shakib, ambassador of the Afghan Taliban in Islamabad, said that if there are elements of the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) in Afghanistan or Pakistan, Pakistan can control them well.

‘Our policy is that we will not allow our land to be used against anyone.’
The ambassador said: ‘Supporting the TTP is not the policy of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan. There is a long border between the two countries, if there are elements of TTP in Afghanistan or Pakistan, it can be well controlled by Pakistan. But we believe that Afghanistan has no hand in the instability in Pakistan, but the Afghan government will definitely play the role it can in bringing stability here.
Afghanistan made a statement regarding the presence of TTP in August this year that “Pakistan has not presented any evidence to the Afghan government about the presence of TTP in Afghanistan”, which the Foreign Office of Pakistan later denied. It was said that Pakistan expressed its reservations on the issue of TTP’s presence in Afghanistan on several occasions.
According to the Foreign Office, this includes bilateral discussions with Afghan officials. Rather, Pakistan has shared concrete evidence of people residing in Afghanistan being involved in terrorist incidents in the country.
