Pak Sahafat – The Deputy Foreign Minister of Pakistan said that the consequences of any political, security and economic collapse of Afghanistan are first of all towards the neighbors; therefore the international community should continue to engage with them instead of trying to isolate the Taliban government.
According to Pak Sahafat News Agency’s report from Pakistan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, during his recent official visit to Tokyo, Asad Majid Khan stated in an interview with the Japanese newspaper Niki Asia that the interaction of the international community with the ruling body of Afghanistan’s position can be the right solution to help the country’s problems.
He warned that if an economic, political or security collapse occurs in Afghanistan, this situation will affect any country, especially Afghanistan’s close neighbors, so we have no other option but to interact because whatever happens in Afghanistan remains only limited to Afghanistan.
Asad Majid Khan, who traveled to Tehran late last month for bilateral political consultations between Iran and Pakistan, said: Stability is a common priority for all countries. We must come together and engage with them (Taliban). Pakistan shares the West’s concerns about women’s rights in Afghanistan, but isolating the country will cause more instability.

He added: The world has a shared responsibility to solve the problems facing Afghanistan through dialogue, so instead of trying to isolate Afghanistan under the control of the Taliban, we should choose the path of interaction.
This senior Pakistani diplomat said about the country’s challenge in dealing with the terrorist group Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan that no interaction and negotiation will be done with this group and Islamabad has a clear position in this regard.
Last week, the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Pakistan, in response to the proposal of the ruling body of Afghanistan’s position to mediate between the government of Islamabad and the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Taliban group, ruled out any compromise negotiations with this terrorist group.
Earlier this year, Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari accused the former government of appeasement in dealing with the terrorist group Tehreek-e-Taliban and said: Pakistan does not negotiate with terrorist groups that do not respect the norms and constitution of this country.
