Taliban govt reiterates resolve not to allow anyone to use Afghan soil against any country
[GEO.TV] Afghanistan’s Interim Foreign Minister Mawlawi Amir Khan Muttaqi has assured Pakistain that the Afghan Taliban
...the Pashtun equivalent of men...
government will not allow anyone to use their homeland against another country.
Taqqiya. Or not, given they all, except ISIS-K have pledged loyalty to the Taliban, and so are no longer outsiders.
The assurance was made by the Taliban government’s top diplomat in a meeting with Pakistain's Special Representative for Afghanistan Asif Durrani in Kabul, a statement issued by the Afghan foreign ministry said.

The bilateral huddle was held on Wednesday and the Pak side is yet to issue an official statement on the meeting.

In the meeting, Muttaqi congratulated Durrani for assuming office and hoped that with his appointment the "political and economic relations between the two countries will develop further". He added that "with ensured security in Afghanistan, a good opportunity has come up to strengthen the economy of the two countries, commence major projects, and increase trade".

"Afghans will never harm anyone; we will allow none to use our soil against another country; and our efforts will always be directed at working for regional security and stability," the Afghan foreign ministry quoted Muttaqi.

On the other hand, the Afghan foreign ministry said that the Pak envoy congratulated the Afghan Taliban "for the overall stability and security following a four-decade war and problems".

"My efforts will be aimed at enhancing relations between the two countries; our countries have progress in the field of business that is appreciable; regional security is to everyone's benefit; and we will cooperate in the security sector," Durrani was quoted as saying.

The envoy also assured Muttaqi that Pakistain is "ready to develop bilateral political, economic, and other mechanisms".

"We will pay serious attention to completing the remaining work of Torkham-Jalalabad road; and that visa facility will be provided for Afghans, particularly for medical patients," Durrani added.
