Afghanistan Warns Pakistan Against Any Act of Aggression

Afghanistan’s Acting Interior Minister Sirajuddin Haqqani warned Pakistan that any act of aggression would not be tolerated by Kabul. Haqqani said this, days after the latest round of talks between the two countries in Istanbul earlier this week failed to yield any outcome. He said the people of Afghanistan may have internal problems, but they stand united against any foreign invader.

He added that the defence of our territory is among our top priorities. Commenting on the negotiations and a possible fresh round of talks, Haqqani said the doors of understanding and dialogue remain open and Afghanistan does not seek confrontation with anyone.

Meanwhile, Pakistan has insisted that acting against Tehreek-e-Taliban (TTP) and preventing the fighters of the group from taking sanctuary in Afghanistan remain important conditions for any agreement. Earlier this week, Afghanistan issued a stern warning to Pakistan, vowing a strong response to any future military strikes after talks collapsed following Islamabad’s withdrawal.
