Sources told TOLOnews that the delegation of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan made every effort to hold constructive talks and find a solution to the problem, but the Pakistani side did not appear to share this intention.
The source added that there seemed to be no coordination within the Pakistani delegation, and instead of presenting clear arguments, they appeared intent on retreating and leaving the negotiating table.
During the talks, the Pakistani delegation asked the Afghan side to accept that Pakistan has the right to carry out attacks on Afghan soil during TTP assaults.
It was also revealed that, for the first time, Pakistan admitted to having an agreement with a foreign country allowing drone strikes, and that it cannot prevent such strikes because breaking the agreement is not possible.
According to the Islamic Emirate’s delegation, the TTP issue is not an Afghan problem but a Pakistani one—and not a new issue but an old and internal challenge for Pakistan.
The Islamic Emirate has repeatedly emphasized, and again reaffirmed, that insecurity in Pakistan is a domestic matter for that country, while the Afghan side remains committed to ensuring that no one uses Afghan territory to harm other nations.
The talks were expected to conclude late last night, with both sides planning to issue a joint statement.
